Mentored from a young age by my father, who is an electronics and electrical boffin, we always designed small electronic projects together. This is how my knowledge in the areas of electronics and renewable energy grew, along with being educated at a technical high school where I learned even more about electricity and mechanics. After high school I went to college to study business management, economics and project management.<\/p>\n<p>My career has been in electronics and renewable energy for the last 12 years, but 7 years ago I discovered Victron Energy &#8211; I will never forget the day we received our first demo Multiplus 48\/3000\/35-50 from my now colleague <a href=\"https:\/\/www.victronenergy.com\/blog\/2017\/06\/16\/victron-energy-people-who-is-andre-du-rand\/\" target=\"_blank\">Andre du Rand<\/a>. I tested the unit and found it to be virtually indestructible, my eyes popped out when I saw how it could be programmed &#8211; I was amazed! Quickly I became the Victron guru at the previous company I worked for.<\/p>\n<p>In late 2016 I saw the opportunity to apply for a position with Victron Energy as a Sales Manager in South Africa. I applied for the position and struck lucky!
