I completed my high school education in 1968 in South Africa, in a town on the Vaal River called Vanderbijlpark, in Transvaal. After completing a year of National Service in the South African Navy, I started my long journey of post school education (13 years) Completing a BSc in Agriculture. I then went on to complete a dental degree at 30 years old, with the support of my wife and two children. During that time, we had our third child. I then purchased my first dental practice in Cape Town. After many years in 1994 we relocated to the UK, where I joined a dental practice as an associate in Southsea. In 2002 I brought my own practice in the Southsea precinct offering a vast array of treatments including facial and body aesthetics. In 2017, I retired to sunny Cornwall with my wife. After realising golf and gardening couldn’t keep me occupied all the time, I joined {my}dentist, Welldental in Carnon downs, Truro in 2020 as a part time associate with the plan to start offering anti-aging treatments and adult orthodontics in the near future at the practice.
