More about me

I am an Elite professional triathlete. I am happy to share my journey with you. I have been competing in triathlon for ten years, and as a professional for the last three years. My focus as a pro has been on the 70.3 mile distance thus far but for the future the longer Ironman events will see more of me.  

Browse around my digital CV, and please contact me if you are interested in partnering with me to achieve world-leading status.

What I can offer your brand

You can consider me a walking advertisement for your brand:

• at all major triathlon races around the globe (this includes wearing branded clothing at events, podium finishes and on my tri-suit during races);
• on social media platforms.

I can assist as a brand ambassador at: 

• events,
• expo's,
• training camps etc.

The athletes racing under my triathlon club (Trivium Triathlon) will be encouraged to support your brand, and you can feature on the club's training or racing kit.

What I need

SWIM

 Swimsuits don't seem to keep up with me in the water. Being a professional athlete, means going through a high quality swimsuit every month or so.
I still need a sponsor for this.

BIKE

I currently cycle with Argon 18 E-119 

I cycle with a Casco helmet and Zagon wheels. 
 
I need Bike supplies for racing (tubes/bombs/service fees).
​

RUN

I go through running shoes very quickly. Keeping up with the cost of the best shoes on the market is not easy.

I like running with light and neutral type of shoe. As I run very naturally with my footstrike.

TRAVEL EXPENSES

As a Triathlete all I do, is travel around the globe to race. If I can't travel I can't race. Flight expenses and accommodation is the biggest expense in my life. Any help regarding covering these costs would be amazing.
- Flight expenses to international or local races.
- Accommodation for international or local races.
- Fuel expenses to travel to training facilities. As in South Africa I need to travel 50 + km to be safe on the bike and do my long bike rides weekly.
- Car Rental Costs!! 

MEDICAL AID

It is vital for me to be healthy, to be able to perform everyday at my utmost best.
​I need to have a piece of mind while cycling and know that in any case of emergency that I'm covered with the best medical aid. 

As a professional I can't be without good medical insurance as I need to be able to get medical treatment and medication when needed. 

Physio costs to keep my body ready and recovered for the next session. 

COACHING FEES

To be the best I need the best coach. It is almost like you don't have a job without a coach, as you would be lost in a big pool of fish.
To ultimately perform my best I need financial backing to afford coaching.
This expense is $600 a month (R8 500 - R9 000) *depending on currency exchange
