Hey, it looks like you're new here to my blog! You may want to consider subscribing to my RSS feed and you'll automatically get notified when I post a new blog entry. If web feeds aren't your thing then why not join my email list by clicking here. Thanks for stopping by.

My day job and passion involves running Afrigator, a startup which I co-founded in April 2007 and later sold a stake to MIH Print Africa.

Prior to moving to Cape Town to work on Afrigator full time I was the Digital Innovation Manager of Avusa’s (formerly Johncom) online and mobile excellence unit known as the iLab where I managed a small team of dedicated and enthusiastic Web 2.0 gurus.

In August 2007 I joined The Times newspaper as the New Media Strategist and I was heavily involved in conceptualising and implementing the web-based strategies for South Africa’s first interactive newspaper.

I also started my own web development and hosting company in October 2003 which I ran for just over three years. This is where I really learnt my trade and during this time I was heavily involved in various Web 2.0 developments which included a South African search engine, a free blogging platform as well as two Top Site directories.

I have worked in both the Media and Internet space since early 1997 with companies that include Media24, CareerJunction, True Love and FinWeek.

I’m 29, married to Colette and together we have two beautiful sons, Luke and Ben.
