After finishing my studies at the North West University in Potchefstroom (2014) I moved to George to complete my internship at the practice. The Garden Route has been my home ever since. I m married to an amazing horticulturist, and we live on a flower farm together with our three Bordercollies. I like to think we live a life of adventure and excitement and I believe being outdoors brings fulfillment on a whole other level.
