I completed my studies in 1990 and began my journey as a teacher. After completing my National Service in 1991, I pursued a teaching career from 1992 to 1999. During this time, we acquired a 65-bed lodge, which we managed for three years. In 2002, I transitioned into the real estate industry, where I've spent over 22 years working in residential and commercial sales, as well as property management. Starting as a rookie, I gradually rose to become a top performer within the organization and eventually became a business owner.

I’m passionate about both my family and my team, and I believe in always giving my best, ensuring things are done right the first time. My love for golf, fishing, and the outdoors fuels my enthusiasm for the daily challenges in the real estate industry. Originally from Gauteng, I relocated to Scottburgh in 1999. My wife, Azelle, is not only my life partner but also my business partner, and together we’ve built a real estate business grounded in trust, integrity, and honor. We deeply value our team and clients alike.

Since joining the Harcourts family in 2012, we’ve proudly established and grown three successful Harcourts offices in KZN. We were also honored to be inducted into the prestigious RWK Legacy Club, recognizing us among the Top 5 Business Owners in South Africa for five consecutive years.

In 2022, we expanded by signing a new franchise agreement and opening a Harcourts office in Mauritius—Harcourts Offshore. Most recently, at the 2024 Harcourts National Conference, I was humbled to receive the highest honor, the prestigious 2024 Harcourts Chairman's Award.

The Harcourts values—"People First, Doing the Right Thing, Being Courageous, and Fun and Laughter"—perfectly resonate with how I approach both my personal life and professional career every day.
