    I completed a Student Airplane Pilots Licence and first solo flight in April 2006 with the PMB Aero Club, however due to finances was unable to complete the Private Pilot’s Licence. My passion for aviation will always remain, and someday I hope to hold my PPL certificate.I enjoy the outdoors and find great pleasure in spending time camping in a bushveld environment.I completed a one day 4x4 driving training course held at Gwahumbe Game Reserve on the 19th of February 2013, and have since been extremely fond of driving off road.Wildlife - There is no better way than to spend time in the bush observing nature and just absorbing the freshness of the outdoors. Both myself and my Wife spend a lot of time away from the confined spaces of our house, and take the children outdoors, teaching them the value of life, our natural world and wildlife conservation.My Personality can best be described as conservative.

    Position: Internal Sales / Sales RepresentativeI joined Stewarts & Lloyds Trading in Germiston after completing my National Service with the SA Airforce in Pretoria. I started in the stores, and in 1994 became internal sales. In 1996 I was transferred to Stewarts and Lloyds Pietermaritzburg to take up a position again in internal sales, and entered into a “trainee representative” contract with the company which involved several courses and assignments. My core Product sales were Steel, tubing, Fencing Materials, Pumps and Rain Bird Turf irrigation products. Once I had completed the training contract in 1997, I was posted to the Dundee Branch where I held the position of sales Representative. In 1998 Stewarts & Lloyds incorporated Robor Industrial Holdings, and the two companies branches in the area amalgamated. I was then re posted back to Pietermaritzburg as internal / external sales representative.
