I'm Edrich, an ICT consultant and network engineer in Cape Town, and I've been running my own shop since 2001. Today that's three businesses, one operator, and specialist crews brought in when a job needs more hands.

EEConnect Global provides ICT and internet services, and on school days you'll find me on campus in Paarl from eight in the morning, keeping an entire school online. Fugen Business IT Solutions looks after small and medium businesses: network installations, data cabling, fibre splicing and CCTV.

Automobile enthusiast, car collector and Formula 1 fan, every race weekend. In the garage: a twin-turbo V8 Audi S7. When the tar runs out, it's two wheels and gravel.

Techno when it's late. Metallica when it's loud. "Mainstreamallica" is my own word for it.
