About Me
I live with my wife Karene, who takes care of me, in Durban. We have a daughter, Cara, who is a final year electronic engineering student. We believe family is top priority and I enjoy great support from them. I am also an electronic engineer,enjoy the outdoors, camping, fishing, wildlife and used to cycle, play golf and fly light aircraft. I enjoyed my job as head of operations at a large electronics company. A positive attitude, making the most of every day, continuously learning and sharing your knowledge with others is my life philosophy.Fight ALS,it's cause and cure are there to be found.
