I grew up in Zastron in the eastern Freestate, matriculated in Bloemfontein where after I joined the South African Air Force for my National Service. During my school years I worked part-time at the "Tattersalls" in Bloemfontein, enjoying the horse racing industry. I joined the motor industry in 1998 after spending time in the admin world. I have a broad spectrum of experience, from selling catering equipment, printing and extensive sales experience in the motor industry, the last 8 years working at EHD Components, of which the last 3 years was as Branch Manager for their Durban branch. Almost all my positions entailed warehousing and stock control. My home language is Afrikaans, and second language English (my wife is English). I am 51 and we have 2 children, a son aged 17 and a daughter aged 15. Working with people is a passion for me and I can fit into any industry as I am a fast learner and eager to excel in what I do
