Diagnosed with dyslexia in first grade, he spent years believing he was broken. He tried to hide it, overcompensate, and chase perfection just to keep up. Eventually, he stopped trying to survive with it and chose to lead with it.

Today, he helps dyslexic professionals and entrepreneurs turn self-doubt into confidence, overthinking into clarity, and hesitation into momentum. He teaches what he has lived, not theory. When he speaks, he keeps it real, practical, and actionable so people walk away feeling seen and ready to move.

As a seasoned leader, author, and outdoors enthusiast, I'm driven to empower individuals to thrive. With roots in South Africa, my journey's been a rich tapestry of experiences – from growing up on a cattle farm to serving as senior pastor/leader of a church in Durbanville, Cape Town, for 25 years. My heart beats for authentic leadership, meaningful connections, and unlocking human potential. I love public speaking, whether that is before a large or small groups of people. I love engaging people, challenging them to think for themselves.

A former civil engineer turned theologian, I hold various diplomas and degrees, including a master’s in Practical Theology. My master’s focused on comparing leadership in business and social sectors, leading me to author A Traveller’s Guide to Leadership. I aim to inspire, uplift, and challenge the status quo through my writing.

Books: "Journey: A Traveller's Guide to Leadership," "Unshackled," and "Finding My Lost Voice" reflect my commitment to empowering others. I'm fuelled by the Bible and African wisdom. When not writing, I'm woodworking, mountain biking, or gardening. My faith is my bedrock, and I serve God with wholeheartedness. I am busy writing two books. The first is an educational fantasy series for older children, and the second is engaging with an agnostics questions about faith in God. Both books are in their early stages.

Married to Heidi for 34 years, with adult children Christopher, Kaitlyn, and son-in-law Quindan. Family, after God, defines who I am, and I love being with and amongst the people I love.
