About me

I am currently residing in the West of England. I have lived in The Republic of South Africa, Australia, The Philippines, Japan, Singapore, The US of A and, of course dear old England. As you have probably realized i just love traveling!
My work background is Advertising & Marketing, and I have worked for Leo Burnett, Lintas, and Van Zijil & Schultze (O&M) in South Africa.
However I studied the theory of communication and soon left advertising and pioneered the theory of interactive communication to the advertising & marketing world.
This experience has allowed me to travel the world and meet some fascinating characters.
I enjoy reading, classics and history together with a good novel, I really enjoy writing articles.
Am a big fan of good American Jazz, having started with the big swing bands and moving onto small groups like MJQ.
My life's work is to get interactive marketing communication recognized as the pre-eminent communications technique, thus reducing all the unnecessary and dreadful clutter invading our lives!
