Founders of Allens Nek Veterinary Hospital.
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.
