About me
Brought up in South Africa & then England, I received a class education at several good schools in the UK & France. I possess excellent communication & interpersonal skills and am bright,well mannered and very switched on. I have travelled extensively & lived abroad for many years, initially in South Africa, the UK, France, Germany & Spain, but also in Japan, Russia and the States to a lesser extent. I was an' event facilitator' for many years in the rave/dance scene involved with various sound systems & clubs all over the world - specialising in house, trance & techno electronic music genres especially in London, Germany & Ibiza . Over a twenty year plus period this has involved, in various capacities, planning & organising parties and events involving DJ's, equipment, logistics, venues & locations Lots of problem solving, multitasking & ego management involved ! Latterly I was more involved in the networking, marketing & advertising of 'events' - both online & off using various media platforms. Having 'retired' from the music scene I'm feeling that urge to settle down & commit myself to a customer orientated 'enterprise' either here in the UK (preferably in or around London) or in France as I speak French. I previously worked in advertising, sales & marketing and have reconnected in this direction on a freelance basis - mainly involving SMM. I'm also involved with a pair of independent coffee shops in central London with the future intention of perhaps owning my own place where I can apply the above knowledge & skill sets to create a stand out environment involving quality products, staff,service, merchandise & music. This is what I'm working towards although its tough going funding wise - but I'm learning a lot ! My main attributes - communication & management skills no doubt - I'm fascinated by human behaviour, including my own ! In my spare time I'm an avid reader & enjoy music, writing, travelling & playing backgammon both here and abroad.
