He loves to eat, especially grilling which he does right through the snowy winters. He is a member of a “carnivores club” where they gets together once a month and eat meat and only meat. He comes to SA annually to visit family and tries to get into the bush, which is his favourite thing to do while there. He still has a large group of KD friends who have spread themselves all over the world. They meet every 4 years at the Rugby World Cup.

Martin came to KDVP in Std 5 out of public school where he was desperately unhappy, and was welcomed with open arms by teachers and students alike.
