Who am I
Who am I........Where am I from.......
I’m a single father in my 50s, originally from Zululand—a rural area in South Africa where community and tradition shaped everything.
We were taught to be strong. To be silent. To keep our pain behind closed doors.
And for a long time, that’s exactly what I did.
From the outside, my life once looked ideal. I had a family. A business. A version of success. But behind the scenes, I was carrying the weight of unspoken trauma, unresolved mistakes, and emotional pain I didn’t know how to name—let alone express.
When things began to unravel—divorce, business struggles, identity crises—I followed the only path I knew: I buried it. I kept quiet. I tried to hold it together.
But silence doesn’t heal.
Truth, even when it’s hard, is where healing begins.
💔 The Breaking Point
The life I had built—brick by brick—began to fall apart. Not because I didn’t love, not because I
didn’t try, but because I had never learned how to face the things I didn’t speak.
The damage of silence is slow. It shows up in our parenting, our relationships, our choices. I hurt
people I cared about. I hurt myself. And eventually, I couldn’t pretend anymore.
That was the beginning of something new.

🚴 The Journey Forward
I’ve always been a builder. I chose business over university. I’ve built companies, teams, and a life
from scratch—first in South Africa, then again when I moved to the UK for my children’s future.
Now I’m building something deeper. A journey that goes far beyond business.
Unspoken to Unbroken is my path forward—a 4–5 year ride around the world on a bicycle. Not
just to see the world, but to meet it. To meet people. To meet truth.
To speak honestly about trauma, healing, forgiveness, and the hard lessons that come from facing
yourself.
🌍 This is Bigger Than Me
I’m cycling through cities and villages.
I’ll be talking to strangers, students, clubs, communities—asking one question:
What do we carry in silence? And what happens when we finally speak?
This journey is not about men, or women. It’s not about race, or religion, or age.
It’s about the shared human truth: we all carry something.
And maybe—just maybe—if we talk about it, we don’t have to carry it alone anymore.
🧭 Support the Journey — Be Part of Unspoken to Unbroken
This journey is powered by truth—and by people like you.
I’m cycling across countries to listen, to learn, and to speak what was once unspoken. Along the
way, I’ll be meeting people from all walks of life, exploring how different communities navigate
mental health, emotional pain, and healing.
But I can’t do it alone.
Your support—whether it’s a warm meal, a tent, a new tire, or a corporate partnership—helps
keep the wheels turning.
