Now
This is my now page where I share what I’m currently focused on at this point in my life, inspired by Derek Sivers.
Updated on 11 August 2024 from my home office in Cape Town.
Pigeon
Pigeon is paywall software for news and other organisations. I work on the development team, assisting with development of the platform in PHP and JavaScript, and also assisting with the development of the WordPress plugin.
Plugin Pros
Plugin Pros is my software development business. We focus on building software extensions, mostly for WordPress and WooCommerce. We do custom development as well, but I’m working on moving the business towards only product based offerings.
WP Geeks
WP Geeks is a brand that I’ve owned and run in many different forms over the past 15+ years. It’s current iteration is a small WordPress and WooCommerce plugin shop that forms part of Plugin Pros product offerings. WP Geeks currently has the following products for sale with more currently being developed.
Rewildify
Rewildify is a membership community that saves African wildlife and it’s ecosystems. For a monthly fee, members join the community and directly contribute to the projects that we undertake around Africa with our partners. We create a short film for each project and host a community screening night at it’s conclusion.
Bushstory / The Bush Villa
I share my passion for wildlife, photography and conservation on my YouTube channel and brand Bushstory, where I film various 4×4 overland trips as I travel around Africa visiting some of the wildest nature reserves and sharing the stories along the way.
I’ve starting the planning my first short film/documentary which will be released on my channel. I’m going through the Art Of Documentary course to help me become a better film maker.
I’ve also recently purchased a property in a small bush estate on the western Kruger Park boundary in a town called Phalaborwa. I will be starting a YouTube series around renovating and turning this property in to my dream bush home and Airbnb.

Kruger Park Photography
One of the many passions in my life is wildlife photography. It combines my desire to create art and be creative with my love for wild animals and places in Africa. I share most of my work on Instagram and I have a goal to start a small boutique photography tour business offering a limited amount of bird and wildlife photography tours in the Kruger Park and Greater Kruger every year.
4×4 Eco Trail
I love exploring Africa and I’d love to share that passion with others. I had an idea to create a once a year guided 4×4 trail that runs through multiple countries and through the very best nature reserves in Africa. To pull this off, there are a number of obstacles I need to climb over. The first is studying to become a qualified field guide. I’m currently exploring educational opportunities to make this happen.
Other Interests
Outside of the above, I’m also spending time these days trying to become a better golfer and fly-fishing the Western Cape.
