When I was one year old my mother died in a car accident in South Africa.
At 18 months old I moved to  New Zealand to live  with my grandparents who became mum and dad to me. 
When I was 14 my 'dad' passed away and it was just 'mum' and me.  Mum lived until 99 years old leaving a big hole in my life when she passed away. 
In 2002 I married Kelvin, the love of my life and we have  two wonderful children, Jakob and Jessika.
With a background in banking, I climbed the corporate ladder to an international position where I travelled the world. Today I have my dream job as the CEO of The Property Lifestyle helping others create their financial freedom.   
Buying my first property at 22 I quickly brought a  second property with no idea what I was doing. I bought wrong (like 95% of investors) which put me on the pathway to being cash poor.
