 I started out completing my high school diploma at H.T.S Carel de Wet from where I went on studying Electrical engineering at the
Vaal University of Technology, from here I went on getting a trade certificate in Chemical Process technologies in 2001. I worked at
Sasol Polymers for 15 years till December 2013. I left Sasol Polymers because I got a business opportunity in the motorbike industry, not looking at all my options (financially wise) I left the industry end of 2014. Pursuing my love for technology, innovation and design I am trying to move back to Chemicals and process to keep on helping improve and teach others to learn more and get involved in the business to make it a passion and not just a job.
