After spending 5 years at Paarl Gymnasium and completing his studies at Cape Tech, a 4 year stint overseas reminded John why he loved the Mother City so.
While John has many interests, he is particularly fond of the green - the golf green. An unintentional hole-in-one sealed his fate and his passion for the game. Now he prefers to escape the bustle of modernity by spending his days swinging his clubs in the fresh air with his friends. That said, between being a proud new daddy and one of Quirk's über busy Java Developers, he doesn't get much green time anymore. He has been heard to say sadly that it's a whole year since he dusted off the old clubs.
He keeps his golf life separate from his work life though and during office hours, swaps his tee for tea.

I attended the WebPR conference in JHB in March. Just a quick note to all of you at Quirk with HUGE congratulations – this was one of the first conferences I have attended where I was riveted for the entire day and took away a lot of new knowledge. What you are doing for the industry is highly commendable and it’s a pity more PR professionals are not harnessing the power of the web. I’m a web freak and as such we had already started implementing more online driven exposure with a number of clients but the tools I took away from the discussions will allow us to push this medium a great deal more.
Thanks again and keep up the good work! - Melissa A, Black Khaki
