I am South African born, English speaking White Male. I was schooled in British established model schools. I had achieved several noteworthy creative writing accolades in secondary school, with much enthusiasm in sports. In tertiary education I obtained my honors in Exercise Science and Sports Medicine. This period did generate three publications in the relevant academic journals, the topics covered were statistics, molecular biology and exercise fatigue as areas of expertise. I left academia to pursue business experience, and was getting by with sales jobs, and consulting positions. The area of expertise shifted towards finance, business, and legalities within the regulatory environment in my country's legislation. I had been astute with all the relevant accreditation that warranted a qualification to provide and render intermediary advice. I did extensive research into possible intellectual property law which merges my university major with something feasible in the law industry. I went back to writing a dissertation for a part-time Masters degree in Sport Studies, this lead to an unfinished dissertation with shoulder therapy and rehabilitation. During this time, I developed a site for blogging, and enjoyed the feeling of three bogs/day that were introducing subject matter to the audience to digest. This area of expertise was football related, and it was a collaboration with a sports channel to get traction in the market. I have managed to write, and conceptualize books for self-publishing all to do with getting tax returns done appropriately, responsible gambling, investment advice on blue chip companies, why each household needs an appropriate budget in the current economic climate.Business Plan or Pitch
