A little about me...
Grew up in Pretoria, South Africa
Completed my studies at the University of Stellenbosch (great town... loads of wine and mountain bike trails)
Currently living in Cape Town, South Africa
I'm a structural engineer by trade. Photography is my artistic escape from the sometimes rigid and harsh construction industry!
I enjoy family, friends, music, good food, adrenaline rushes, the wind on my face, mountain biking, the smell of fresh pine needles and mountain streams, the sound of tires on tarmac, the growl of a V8 or V-twin engine, making great memories, reminiscing...

Cameras:
