About

I grew up in beautiful Cape Town and my love for the ocean has not subsided in any way, shape or form. I enjoy the sunshine, staying active, traveling and new adventures. I enjoy diving deep in nutrition and how to optimize fueling the body to perform at its best. Reading is a favourite pastime and making great memories with good people
