MT was born and raised on an Eastern Cape dairy & cattle farm. No one would ever think he would end up in the Cape Winelands and in the events industry to boot. He found this industry after spending 2 years in London. MT came back to South Africa and went to Stellenbosch to study Hospitality & Catering focusing on Events Coordinating. After 7 years in the events industry he joined Crossfit Paarl in February 2014 to challenge himself to become a better person, mentally and physically. His passion for people and his commitment to becoming a better person caught the eye of Ivar, who, in 2017 asked MT to become an Assistant CrossFit coach. MT’s drive to better himself has transferred into every aspect of his life, training, coaching and coordinating events. He is a valued athlete in our community who brings intensity and gees to every class he is in.
