Raised in South Africa’s Lowveld in the Mpumalanga province, I spent most of my time on my grandfather’s farm and while in school there was a constant overwhelming call from the outdoors.

I started hunting a very young age, armed with an air rifle, I was given the duty to guard my  Grandfathers vegetable garden and virtually rid it from small Varmint! As I got older the urge to hunt larger game species became stronger by the day, this led to my first impala at age 6. Meat hunting was part of my life to be replaced by trophy hunting during my early teens.

After completing my Schooling I immediately pursued my hunting dreams, completing my Professional hunter’s course in 2009 to pursue my life long dream of becoming a professional hunter. I started as a Junior Professional hunter with Kwalata safaris and worked my way up through the ranks, gaining constant experiences on not only plains game but dangerous game also.

As a fully operational Dangerous game and plains game guide, I like many other professional hunters have developed a “close” bond with Cape Buffalo hunting, being an avid bow hunter I find it extremely challenging to hunt all game but especially “black death” with bow and arrow, patience, planning and persistence plays an integral part in successful hunts.
