Professional Bio

Started an online travel company from the "proverbial garage" back in 2002. Been running it ever since with my business partner Steve Conradie. It's been a fun ride.

Steve and his team handle the operations and sales side of our business. I handle the web development and online marketing side of the business.

All together, we're a team of about 20-25 people that are passionate about Southern Africa as a holiday destination and a place to live (especially Cape Town). We're also passionate about technology and the internet. Yes, some of us are real geeks.

I'm also proud to be a trustee for the Tourism Community Development Trust.
