History of Donovan Risk

So it starts...

I was born in Sandton, Johannesburg (14 March 1991). I was raised in Midrand, but also had family and friends all over Gauteng. I am half Lebanese and half Afrikaans. Most of my Lebanese family lives in Johannesburg or in small towns scattered across South Africa. My Afrikaans side of the family mostly call Pretoria their home (with a few exceptions, such as farmers and miners).

Education & Career

I started going to a primary school in Midrand called Halfway House Primary, but then later (Grade 6) moved to a school in the Centurion area called Wierdapark Laerskool. I played Rugby there and swam and made many new Afrikaans friends, to be honest I never knew so many Afrikaans people existed before I went there!.

My Highschool years were also spent in Centurion at Hoërskool Eldoraigne. It was a huge school, housing over 1700 students by the end of my Matric year.

After graduating at Hoërskool Eldoraigne I decided to study a degree in BIS Multimedia at the University of Pretoria. I finally graduated after having to juggle between res life and my academics. It all payed off in the end... I am currently working at a company called Pausebreak Media as a Web developer.

Where do I go from here?

My future plans are:

Become a professional skydiver
Become a master web developer
Visit a different country at least once a year
Learn 3 new languages (Only two to go!)
