My Name is Arnold I was born in Durban on the east coast of South Africa in October 1961. I grew up in a family of 5 children, I enjoyed athletics, gymnastics, rugby and soccer. After school I qualified as a two way radio technician, and met the girl of my dreams now my wife. In January 1986 I was encouraged by my father in law to enter the Comrades Marathon a 86 km race run between Pietermaritzburg and Durban on the 31 May each year. I completed it in 10.5 hours, it is amazing what your body can do when you set your mind to it and do the training.

In June 1998 my Wife my two daughters aged 8 and 4 and I immigrated to Auckland in New Zealand. We are so glad we stepped out of our comfort zone and made this decision, some times in life you have to step outside your comfort zone and take a risk. Our Son Calvin now eight was born here in 2001. This is such a beautiful country and we will be celebrating our daughters 21 st this year. How quickly time goes, so don’t put important things off do it now before it is to late.

My mom and dad always told me that I will own my own company one day. In 1993 that became a reality I have run my own business ever since. The power of a dream, believe in your children and encourage their dreams.
