rowing up on a farm just north of Etosha National Park, I developed a passion for wildlife, nature and cultures at a very early age. Holidays were spent in the African bush – horse riding, walking, sleeping under the stars and conducting game capture operations.
After nine years in the freight handling business, my heart still yearned for the bush. I had the desire to share my nature experiences with others. When Wilderness Safaris offered me a permanent position as a mobile safari guide, I made the career change without hesitation.
I am currently the general manager for Wilderness Safaris’ Explorations Department in Windhoek and am still actively involved as a guide. I definitely have the best job in the world. My favourite activities include safaris in the most remote areas in search of different indigenous cultures or tracking free-roaming black rhino and desert-adapted elephants.
Photography is a great way to keep a record of what I do and to share once-in-a-lifetime experiences and memories with others. I enjoy capturing wildlife and people as there is always some kind of interaction, but I also have a great affinity for aeroplanes. My images are unedited and therefore serve as memories rather than arty displays
