In his own words:
I started cycling seriously at the age of 20. I never thought I would become a cyclist but recently I joined my good friend Victor Krohne on the road an started training at a serious level. He helped me understand the game of cycling, and in doing so, I realised I love the game and was really glad to join Team Ben Namibia.

My aims are:
- To become a pro rider
- To represent my country internationally
- To help other up-coming riders develop
- To compete in big tours, as well as races, in South Africa
- To build a better Namibia through cycling

Selected Results:
2007
10th - Tour de Windhoek, B-Category (first professional race)
34th - Namibian Cycle Classic - 64 km
