Profile:

I was born in 1981 in Johannesburg and went to school there. I left early to pursue other opportunities, and enjoyed several professions before settling into game-ranging. I dabbled in plumbing, fitting & turning, welding, cabinet making, building and even IT. Eventually I decided to complete my FGASA level 2, and began guiding trails. I am now in the process of doing my level 3 and am currently the head ranger at Madikwe Safari Lodge. I love working with my hands and have quite a creative streak. I am very interested in photography and happen to quite a good chef! My goal is to eventually become a specialist guide - I love working in the bush because there is really no better place I'd rather be than amongst wild animals and beautiful surroundings.
