Meet Dirk

Hi

About Me

I was born in Namibia and went to study and live in beautiful Cape Town after I matriculated. After studying and qualifying as a Cost and Management Accountant I worked in Cape Town as a Cost Accountant for 5 years. I then went on to live in the UK for another five years and continued studying at the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants. I returned to Cape Town and continued working for another few years until I decided to open my own Fitness Centre.

I have 2 kids who are 18 and 20 respectively and I live with my beautiful wife Natalie in Westlake Cape Town. It is pure bliss.

I have been doing Karate for 44 years and am currently graded as a 6th Dan Karate Instructor. I have started and launched a few other related businesses such as a Martial Arts Shop called IPPONSPORTS, an online Wellness business called GYPH and a free online Sports directory at THEONLINESPORTSDIRECTORY.CO.ZA

I have been trained by some highly successful business entrepreneurs in my career and have also been forced to start over and keep updating the way I operate.

My hobbies range from Wakeboarding and Gym to also being an avid poker player. Poker has taught me some valuable life and business lessons. Which ranges from the fact that it is a skill and you can get better if you apply yourself, Be patient, Ride the worse times and enjoy the wins. Don’t give up, learn continuously and know that your overall result is positive so keep going.

I am a teacher at heart and love teaching people everything I learn in life. I am also a devout Christian that has walked many dark roads but have been blessed with health and wealth, both financially, spiritually and with my relationships.

I am looking to work with motivated individuals that want more and are driven. I am to create a large group of fitness entrepreneurs that believes anything is possible.
