About me

Born in Pretoria South Africa but grew up in Windhoek Namibia where I also went to school.

Studied Hospitality Management at Granger Bay in Cape Town and thereafter moved to Germany to work in the Hospitality Industry there for 4 years. Did one season as Waiter in Austria, Tirol in the Mountains at the Relais & Châteaux Singer Sporthotel & SPA.

In 2008 moved back to Namibia and managed two different lodges before I started at a Tour Operator in Otjiwarongo, Namibia.

In 2015 started my own company and moved into the Marketing world. I run my own Digital Agency, CWell Media Namibia and live in Swakopmund, Namibia.

In 2018 I also started Activities Namibia with my partner Natasha van der Walt improve the exposure for Namibian Activity operators and also create a local run Channel for them to sell their Tours and activities through.


I also own a Digital Agency in Swakopmund, Namibia and create Virtual content for my clients. I am also passionate about the Tourism Industry, as I am a qualified Hotelier, but have been operating my own company int he Digital Space for the past 6 years and loving it.

One of my big passions is 360° or Virtual Imaging, and it is also one of the Services I offer to my clients. I am also involved in the Marketing of Swakopmund as a Destination, as I live here and it is an amazing place.

I firmly believe that Networking is one of our core marketing strategies as an individual but also for your business. I love building my Network and every opportunity I get to do this I take it up with passion.

I also love my country, Namibia and every chance I get to promote it I do that. We are privileged to live in the most amazing country and should be proud of that as well as cherish it every day.

  • I am currently in Swakopmund Namibia, where the Dunes of the oldest Desert in the World meet the Atlantic Ocean. A unique place that must be on your bucket list. And if travelling to Namibia, bring some time along, there is lots to see and experience.
