I have been working in the Audio-visual and Events industry for the past 25 years, and have had many great opportunities locally and abroad to work with the best in the world. I started my career in Johannesburg in 1985 working as a sound technician, moved over to the USA and the UK to work with two of the biggest sound companies around at the time, and then returned to SA to continue working as a sound engineer in both permanent installations and live sound work.

In the 90’s when International artists started touring SA, I got more involved in production management and event co-ordination work, and once again worked with some of the best promoters, industry suppliers and artists in the world.

Now recently, in 2008, my wife and I decided to relocate to the Garden Route where I have my own Audio-visual sales and rentals company based in Knysna.

Some of the highlights of my career would include the following:
