I am a husband of 15 years and a proud father of three children – an 8-year-old daughter, an 11-year-old son, and a 12-year-old daughter. I value my time with my children deeply and place family at the centre of everything I do. I grew up in the south of Johannesburg and have been living in Meyerton for the past 12 years, where I enjoy being part of a close-knit community that offers a welcome contrast to busy suburban life.
I began my career in the financial services industry in 2005 as a financial planner. In 2011, I started a Liberty Life franchise, where I built a strong and successful adviser team. In 2016, I moved my practice into the Sanlam environment, continuing to grow and evolve my business. I believe in continuous learning and personal growth, always striving to become the best version of myself.
Some of my proudest personal and professional highlights include getting married in 2011, the births of my children, completing a marathon, and achieving Bluestar Business of the Year awards in 2017, 2018, and Category 2 Business of the Year in 2023. Completing my Postgraduate Diploma in Financial Planning in 2025 is another important milestone.
I value respect, loyalty, and genuine relationships. I will do whatever it takes to help those who are willing to listen, learn, and take action to succeed. My family is my greatest motivation, and I work intentionally to break negative generational cycles while preserving positive values. My faith plays a central role in my life, as I believe nothing is possible without it. Past failures motivate me to become better tomorrow, while the success of my children and the advisers I mentor brings me deep fulfilment.
I am passionate about staying active and maintaining a healthy lifestyle through kettlebell fitness, running, playing golf, and hunting. Fitness plays an important role in my life, both physically and mentally. I also have a strong passion for coaching primary school and club rugby, as I enjoy developing young people, teaching discipline, and contributing positively to my community.
