Born in the proud little town of Springs in South Africa, and schooled at St Brendan’s Christian Brothers College, I went on to study Chemical Engineering at Wits University. That didn’t work out, so off I shuffled to do my two years compulsory national service, managing to pick up the rank of 2nd lieutenant and serving as a transport officer out of Ogongo on Namibian/Angolan border in the late ‘70s, along the way.

 

Coming out of the army, I got into computers first as a programmer and later a systems analyst before giving up corporate to become a professional dancer. I cut my teeth, learning my trade performing in SA before heading north, featuring in some of the best cabarets in Europe, including the incredible Moulin Rouge Paris, Scala in Spain, and Estoril Casino in Lisbon, Portugal.

 

Returning to South Africa, I got into choreography and stage production, somehow leading organically into industrial theatre and landing up in one of the greatest adventures of my life: voter education leading up to the historic 1994 elections.

 

Today I consult on marketing and communications, manufacture hi-tech computer engagement pods, and spend a lot of time on research, searching for unchartered ideas and hidden recesses concealing magic, for my work. And what makes it all worth the effort? ...My two sons, Zarret and Revlyn, my lady Ingrid and her son Adam, and my siblings, Corinne and Sandi and their families, and my whole wonderfully dysfunctional extended family.
