In addition to the above special achievements, am I proud of the following achievements over a period of time that are not work related and which gives an indication of my character and commitment in what I do:

o I achieved the 2nd place in a national debating competition between all schools in South Africa in my matric year in 1983 and attended a private dinner with Minister FW de Klerk at his home following the awards.

o I was given the Chief of the Army award by General Jannie Geldenhuys in 1985 in my final year of national service for exceptional organizational skills following my responsibility to facilitate the movement of soldiers between Pretoria and the border.

o I was given a special merit award by the Rector of the University of Pretoria in 1988 following a charity concert I arranged for more than 1 000 handicapped children from Pretoria as part of an effort as Chairman of the RAG Committee.

o I received my national colours for athletics in 2008. o I have been happily married for 25 years.

I am passionate about the service industry. I am analytic by nature, systems driven by nature and can manage multiple projects successfully. I am a team player who believes in shared ownership of projects for my team, which ownership results in synergy to the benefit of the team and the estates.

I have completed my CMCA examination through the South African chapter of the Community Association Institute (USA accredited qualification) and act as the Chapter leader of the Eastern and Southern Cape area, consisting of some of the top estates in South Africa.

I am a passionate and active sportsman and enjoy marathon running, trail running, race walking and squash. Although I can play golf, have I limited this to occasions such as annual contractors’ golf days and staff competitions. My wife and two children (aged 20 and 16) are very special to me. We respect traditional family values and support one another. My success to date can only be contributed to (1) a wife who has full empathy and gives me all the support with the challenges in the industry, (2) my passion to strive for excellence in what I do and (3) my belief in God who assists me in all circumstances.
