Key Skills and Attributes

I am a highly motivated self-starter and work equally well as part of a team or alone. I have run my ownbusiness in the past and this has given me an honest, hard working and diligent approach to business. Ihave had a lot of responsibility in my previous roles and I believe that this is not only because of myexperience, but also because of my meticulous approach to work, my dependability and my determinationto get the job done. I also believe that my time spent in the South African Marine Corp has made me moredisciplined and given me the strength of character that I now possess.

Hobbies and Interests

I have been a keen sportsman all my life and have played both soccer and rugby for the South AfricanMarines. I have also won several shooting competitions during my time in the Marines and continue toplay squash, although no longer competitively.

I have a great love of music and movies and spend a lot of time at the PC editing home movies. I amfascinated with computer graphics and my goal is to one day get involved with the design/programming ofsuch graphics.

In the meantime, though, I have plenty to keep me occupied with the restoration of my 1946 AmericanArmy Willis Jeep.
