About Gaven

Firstly, I'm not a guru get rich quick multi-millionaire. I'm just a regular guy who spends my life helping others, often to the detriment of my own dreams, and is passionate and committed to making a difference. 
I find real joy in making others happy and try to inspire people when I speak and give presentations, present at workshops and training programs. 

One of my real passions is to travel, especially with my wife, exploring places that are off the beaten track. When I am not building models, playing D&D with my friends (Yes I know, but let it go), gardening or writing, 

my effort and attention is as the President of the World Association of Master Chefs. I am also a Chief Advisor for Solace Advisory that helps companies find investment for projects through specialised Venture Capital companies. I am also the owner and managing director of the Hospitality & Tourism Industry Accreditation program (HATIA) which is my new business. I'm also open to help and consult to anyone who needs help.
I have been married to my wife for 27 years and have two beautiful daughters who inspire me to aim for the sky and never question my weird and often crazy approach to life. My wife on the other hand questions me constantly, but that is what I loves about her.
I have been referred to as a Human Whiteboard.
Ill listen to your business problems, issues and concerns and then give you honest feedback and guidance.
I am an avid proponent to study and the pursuit of knowledge also.
