Before the kitchens,
there was this.

Combat medic. Long days, real stakes, no second takes. It's where the calm under pressure comes from.

“You are truly a gifted chef, and have left a lasting impression on my guests and me.”
Lt Mark A. Steliga · United States Navy

// 02 — The Story

Born in Irene. Raised in Hout Bay. Forged everywhere else.

From a South African boarding school to the military as a combat medic, then UKSF selection in 2006. After that came two decades cooking for people who expect perfection at sea, on private islands and in palaces.

In between: jumping out of aircraft for a living, riding where the road runs out, and writing it all down.

LimeChilli was the past. CaosLife is now, and what comes next. Sober. Clean. Still wild.
