Before I wind up boring you with an extensive life history, what follows is a brief summary of my passions and skill set. Connect and let's talk if you'd like to know more!

I am a Sales Manager, Business Development Manager and relationship creation specialist in the digital marketing industry. I'm passionate about sales, leadership, team dynamics, the digital marketing and media sphere and technological innovation.

I am currently the national sales & business development manager for TouchBasePro who specialize in email marketing, data enrichment, customer engagement and all-around email facilitation. I have been in sales management for the past 5 years, garnering experience in new business development, digital media sales, personal and goal oriented growth coaching, sales dynamics, solutions orienteering and future-focused strategy.

My experience lies in digital marketing, sales, multimedia and marketing solutions geared toward start-ups, SME and corporate entities, encompassing email marketing, social media, branding, e-commerce, PPC and print media.

I am also very involved in various media aspirations such as voice-overs, digital and visual multimedia as well as amateur graphic art (Portfolio of works in links below.)

I have assisted in the successful start-up of a business within the private personal protection industry with an emphasis on self-defence, close quarter combat and various blades and firearm disciplines. This has currently bloomed into a multi-faceted organization with branches across Africa. I have my Brown belt in Israeli Krav Maga and currently hold my yellow belt in Morganti Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu while actively practising Mixed Martial Arts in an amateur capacity.
