About

Hi! My name is Dirk.

I am a husband, a father, an IT project manager (when i can get the work!), a bass guitarist, a long distance walker (I used to run but my knees don’t want to cooperate with that activity any more!), an optimist, a realist, a dreamer, a thinker, a doer, a life and leadership coach, a resident of Johannesburg, South Africa and a wanna be writer – hence this site.

I like to write fiction, non-fiction, blogs, short stories, books (on my second one now!), anything really! Topics are all centered around life, that precious commodity that we all, at one time or another, cherish, waste, and ignore and live. The simple fact is that life does happen – especially when we have planned something else – and that’s where my thoughts and themes and inspiration comes from.

I like to laugh (a lot!), I often see the funny side of things, or sometimes just the other side of things. But I also like to be serious – about family, relationships, personal finances, politics, faith, economics and the like.

So my hope is that you will be able to take some pleasure from of my efforts here, and however much you enjoy it, know that it will only be a small portion of the joy I have in putting this all together.

Happy reading!
