You really are curious.

I grew up there and spent most of my teen years and twenties at the beach and in the ocean. It’s still a major love of my life, although I now live in Johannesburg with my incredible wife and two children.

When I left high school I started a surf clothing brand which I ran for 10 years until moving to the UK for a two year stint. The brand was called Empty Vessel Creations and those were some of the best years of my life. I learned so much about business, marketing and branding. And I had excessive amounts of fun while doing it.

I have been running my own businesses ever since leaving school and only really had a ‘real job’ while we were in London.

I miss surfing and the ocean a lot, but for the last while I have been doing Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and I’m a little bit obsessed with it.

I’m a deep-thinking guy and internally an intense problem-solver, but mostly I like to laugh and joke. My sense of humour is great (in my own opinion) but it definitely can get me into trouble.

I am also the founder and co-owner of a small agency based in South Africa, called Lonely Viking. We are team of 7 who make incredible custom web apps and brands for our clients.
