For over 25 years, I was deeply immersed in agri-fruit processing and the international food commodity trade, gaining hands-on experience across all facets of business. But in 2015, I chose a different path—one that led me beyond boardrooms and business deals into a journey of self-discovery, service, and creativity.
Selling my businesses and home, I traveled the world—most notably to India—seeking something deeper than commercial success. I co-founded an organisation dedicated to selfless service and karma yoga, embracing the practice of giving without expectation. Through this experience, I learned to observe life and respond to it altruistically. I also became a certified Yoga Alliance teacher under Swami Sudhir Anand in Rishikesh. Around this same time, I encountered the mesmerising sound of the bansuri on the banks of the Ganges River—a moment that reshaped my path, drawing me into the depths of Indian Classical Music.
Between 2016 and 2017, I met Rhodi-Anne, and our paths intertwined. In 2019, we settled together on a family-owned farm in the Western Cape, where our shared passions took root. In 2024, we sealed this journey in marriage—a continuation of the life we have been building through love, music, and creative expression.
From 2017 to 2019, under the guidance of the esteemed Pandit Hariprasad Chaurasia at Vrindaban Gurukul in Mumbai, I deepened my study of the bansuri. In 2022, I was honored to graduate as a Bansuri Guru with Indian Art Music via iSM Circle. My music is a fusion of Indian ragas and South African influences, blending tradition with personal expression.
Beyond music, my life remains an ongoing experiment with the truth—a process of questioning, refining, and aligning my actions with deeper authenticity. This unfolds through astrology, regenerative farming, leatherwork, Soma and the restoration of The Old Post Office into a space for creativity and history. Each of these endeavours reflects this experiment—a search for meaning through hands-on engagement with the world.
This website is a living collection of my journey—a space where experiences, passions, and lessons converge. Whether through music, craftsmanship, philosophy, or nature, my path remains one of exploration, service, and transformation.
I invite you to walk this journey with me.
