Born on 11 April 1956, I grew up in the district of Bonnievale in Western Cape, South Africa.

Post Matric I moved to Sasolburg where I worked in the Laboratory, mainly doing quality control.

Eventually I started my IT career in Kleksdorp with a company called Sentraalwes - later it changed to Senwes. I started as an operator on an IBM 370 DOS/VSE machine (1978). Around 1980 I was appointed as programmer which I still practice. I am well acquinted with COBOL/DB2 and MVS but am also familiar with most of the PC languages like Visual Basic/Java etc.

Since I started with computers before the age of the IBM-PC. I had virtually went through the evolution cycle and am still going strong. Eventually I became somewhat of a generalist in IT and am currently speeding towards the end of my career. Then I can practice my hobby full time which is - Computers of course.
