"My love and relationship with food started in my teen years when I started catering for functions while at school, I remember baking chocolate cakes at age 14 for pocket money with my mom!
I studied at Wits Hotel School received my Certificate and Diploma in Catering Management. During this time I gained experience while working with various JHB based caterers and chefs.
As part of my practical studies, I was placed at Shangri-La Country Lodge and ended up staying there for almost four years as a Kitchen Manager. There I could create, experiment and learn and believed that is where I “received” my wings and my creativity truly took off. I then spent Another four years running a lodge in Sandton, it was during this time that I decided to start my own business and I launch Catering Edge. Years later, I am still passionate about what I do and believe foods creative possibilities are endless!"

"After completing my internship with Sun International as a Chef de Partie, I took up a position with then Aventura Resorts in Warmbaths as a Chef.
Later I joined the team at Shangri-La Kitchens, a South African Restaurant in the heart of the Bushveld and this is where I met and worked with Heili - not knowing then that we would one day be husband and wife as well as the accomplished professional chef team that we are today!
I relocated back to JHB where I was involved in running the canteen at Alexander Forbes in Sandton. I received a phone call from Heili asking to assist with functions, my career took a turn and Heili, and I became business partners, and as they say, the rest is history!"
