A Life Dedicated to Family, Resilience, and Sharing Timeless Wisdom with the World
Growing up as one of nine siblings, I quickly learned the importance of humility and finding my place within a large, bustling family. With extended family just as large, my upbringing taught me the value of community and resilience. In 1996, I immigrated from South Africa to Auckland, New Zealand, and, together with my children, built an IT business from the ground up.
My wife has been my steadfast partner throughout this journey; she is the friendly voice who greets you when you call our office. Now, at 76, I’m passionate about sharing the life-changing insights I’ve gathered over the years from countless inspiring magazines.
My goal is to make this wisdom accessible to everyone, offering practical advice and perspectives for a better world.
