I started in the South African Police Service straight out of high school and went on to train as a detective and specialist in riot and crowd control. From there I moved on to Iraque where I was trained by American Security Forces in security services. In between this I ran my own small company which provided security services to citrus, game and crop farmers. Other experience includes tracking, anti-poaching, armed response, placing and supervision of guards, vehicle and personal searches and patrols.
