Dennis was never one to take the conventional route – his adventurous lifestyle has led him along the path of a veterinary bioscience student and even into the intricacies of business marketing. An accomplished divemaster, he has also had a hand in regional marine conservation work involving sharks, reef restorations and underwater surveys. When not under the ocean – he spends his days and nights out in the field observing and acquiring knowledge on local biodiversity. A big fan of wildlife, he regularly visits rescue centres in Sumatra and Borneo to get a better understanding of human-wildlife conflict in rural areas. He uses his extensive field experience to personally design and lead the regional conservation camps. With a keen eye for the rare and elusive (macro, snakes, birds, you name it!) – Dennis is also an avid wildlife photographer, powerboater, mountaineer and advocate for sustainable fishing – it is no secret that all the elements in his life are intertwined. Being around wildlife is second nature to him.
