I was educated in Stellenbosch, with a background in Finance and Sport Sciences, and I have been working in the financial services industry for the past 13 years. I discovered my career path in 2013 and am a founding member of the Firebird Group, where I serve as a Director and shareholder on the leadership team.
On a personal note, I am married to my high school sweetheart, and we have one lively toddler who keeps us on our toes.
I am deeply passionate about helping people, not only my clients but also our advisors, discover their potential and pursue their passions. What drives me is ensuring that every client is educated about financial planning and empowered to make informed decisions, ultimately achieving long-term financial security.
In my personal time, I enjoy spending quality time with family and friends and watching sports, both live and on television. I am an active member of Round Table Southern Africa, a local charity organisation, and while I am a former competitive golfer, I now focus more on enjoying the social side of the game.
