    About

    I have worked long and hard to earn a good reputation in the world of broadcasting. Not only in South Africa, but also in the UK. My passion has been horse racing productions and I believe that I have been instrumental in the huge strides that were made with my previous company over the last 19 or so years. During my time with the International Team I was fortunate to be recognized by my peers (locally and internationally) for my input as part of the international team. I am pretty sure that all my racing colleagues around the globe will agree that I have worked hard to gain their confidence and respect. Project management has also been a strength of mine and over the years I have seen through various projects, from the launch of the company, through its many growing spurts, to where it is today. Throughout my years in my career I have always come in ahead of time and under budget on all the projects that were put under my care.
