I have been involved in the computer industry since 1994 and have been immersed in the sales environment for the most part during this time.

For 3 years I was a National Examiner for a prominent tertiary institution lecturing Computer Engineers and from there I migrated to the industrial industry where I became an Industrial Cabling Specialist and Industrial Security Commissioning Engineer.
