My name is Andre Visagie.
I'm married to Lizanne and am the proud owner of two dogs - Charlie and Splash. My wife and I enjoy reading, MTBing and scuba diving (in warmer water!) I also serve as one of the pastors in our church.

Your comments are very welcome and I will attempt to answer each concern or question. Of course, I make no pretension of being infallible and I will reserve the right to edit my posts!
