Over the years I have built up extensive experience in installing, maintaining, and repairing various security products such as, Alarm systems, CCTV Systems, Access Control systems (Biometrics & Boom Gates Systems), Gate Motors, Intercoms and Electric Fencing. It was and remains my objective to stay updated with the ever changing and upgrading security technologies and products, I have attended and completed a wide range of security product courses that have given me the advantage of offering customers the best possible solution for their requirements. With nearing close to 18 years of experience in the security industry I have worked my way up from being a Junior Security Product installer to currently the Operations Manager for on of South-Africa’s leading security Installations company. My experience has allowed me to cover bases on all levels such as Installations, Sales, Company Operations and Management. Growing from each level has given me the gain of knowing what is required to complete given tasks in the allocated time frames and with success.I pride myself on having a high work ethic with values such as being flexible, diligent, honest, reliable, trustworthy and a team player that can take instructions from all levels. On a personal note, I have a great sense of humor, am energetic, helpful and enjoy new challenges and experiences. I’ve been happily married for ten years and have two daughters, Other than spending time with my family I enjoy golfing, cricket, and camping. Personally, I’ve always maintained a sense of kindness and compassion, helpfulness, and respect, I believe that these attributes combined with my belief in always being humble have guided and steered my choices and decisions throughout my life.
