Founders of Allens Nek Veterinary Hospital.

I qualified in 1991, and after doing an honours degree in Wildlife Management, spent a year working at Mabula Game Reserve.

In 1993 I started my career in small animal medicine, on the West Rand.
I value hard work, customer satisfaction and happy pets.
So it was not long before I decided to begin my own practice, as to realise that dream.

I embrace all aspects of Veterinary Science and have a keen interest in Feline medicine.
Married with (a litter of) 5 children, we’ve lived in Weltevreden Park since starting the practice.

I enjoy the outdoors and am a keen school sport follower.

Lesser known facts: I own an overweight Dachshund that has to use the back entrance when visiting the vet…

I became  a Vet in 1994.

Upon spending two years in the Medical Services of the South African Defence Force, stationed in Potchefstroom, I decided to pursue the UK to broaden my horizons.

In Companion Care I gained extensive experience working with small animals and the odd exotic.

Upon returning home in 1998 after the birth of my eldest, I decided to join the practice, becoming partner in 1999.

Since then I have been actively involved here and particularly enjoy working with small animals. My special interest, general surgery.

Together with my Wife and 3 Sons, enjoying the outdoors and travelling too.
