About Me

Hi, I am a 50 year old happily married man with two gorgeous daughters (14yrs and 11yrs)living in Johannesburg South Africa, and have joined myspace as it is a wonderful way to communicate with others around the worldBy profession I am a commercial and military pilot (ex Top Gun type Jet Jock)but have followed my other passion for property development for the last 25 years. I have been involved in the development of many and including the first golf estates here in SA as well as being a specialist in gated or estate housing developments or projects (my current developments pics are on my pics side of my profile)I am also a fine artist, and studied under Cecil Skotnes, one of SA's leading artists. However, the only art or creative output from myself these days is my photography for all my marketing of my developments and the creation of housing estates and communitiesOne side of my personality is quite conservative, the other is completely nuts, possibly due to my bent sense of humour! (love "the Goons" not the nine’ o’clock news/ Monty pithon -(sic - python)type humour)For fun I enjoy Jet-Skiing, boating and skiing, quad riding and other adrenalin sports, all be it that I hardly fly any more (I was involved with and helped structure the microlight (ultra light)system here in SA, and am the first registered microlight flying instructor in South Africa)According to my long suffering beautiful wife (fashion model and aircraft stewardess), I am a Gold card holder at most of the strip clubs in Johannesburg! (what rubbish!) it's only a silver card!MY VERY SPECIAL FRIEND MICHELLE ....RIPLong long ago, in a "distant land".....Me and a wingman over the Karoo desert
