SEVEN

English, Afrikaans and Spanish

From a young age I was an avid sportsman, excelling in athletics, cricket and rugby at a provincial level. Surfing turned into a passion and then helping out with washdowns and regattas at the Royal Cape Yacht Club became the next logical step for me. Serendipitously a motorcycle accident prevented me from moving abroad and pursuing my cricket career. Hence, my focus turned to yachting. I began in 1999 in Mallorca and in 2000 and got my first permanent job and never looked back. I feel fortunate to do something I love and am passionate about, truly blessed.

From the age of four I was making fresh pasta, baking breads and cakes and stoking the pizza oven with my large Italian family. Growing up, my parents and I ran a small catering business where we would go to their homes and cook for families. In between all of that I did some professional singing, dancing, modeling, sports and most importantly spending time on the ocean and hiking. Yes!! I'm a water baby and I have to resist the urge to jump into the ocean constantly. I’ve owned my own little coffee shop where I produced home cooked Italian food to go along with their freshly brewed coffee. After all that and two children I finally decided to fulfil my dream of doing what I love the most. Food and Sea. I cannot wait to share my passion with you and create beautiful memories for you on Seven.
