I am a young man from South Africa, in the field of construction. I started writing my first novel in Matric (12th grade) which I have yet to publish. I attended Wits University... That was half a decade ago.Now, I have successfully self-published my first novel, The Bowman's Apprentice and Other Stories and since gotten it in some book stores.

On the work front, I'm a Candidate Construction Manager in the South African council of construction professionals and beginning my postgrad in Quantity Surveying.
