Thus far I have traveled a varied journey, both in terms of academic achievements and life experiences. I started along the more creative path while finishing my education; being involved in a boy band and dance group, I worked with the music industry and was a marketing director. However, the precedence of my family needs did help sway my focus and the course forward was in the field of medicine, but while studying, I still dabbled in creative aspects like radio DJ, camp director for holiday clubs, scripture union teen camps, and chairperson of the pharmacy students. I managed to secure a prestigious placement with Eli Lilly and then went onto a global assignment with them. This, however, was tempered with a traumatic experience in Johannesburg and my need to get back to the root of it. This led me to study extensively varied topics and subjects to get a holistic view of human nature and life itself. I have along the way kept in contact with my educationally-focused industry, but have looked to exploit other creative talents. I have spent the last two years finishing off studies and completing my first book, which was a mission of love and a way to rectify my misgivings. I delved intently into philosophy, sociology, palliative care, then along the business lines had active interest in pharmacy and entrepreneurial-based start-ups. I have developed strengths in a varied amount of arenas that afford a global outlook, and I feel a practiced wisdom and insight. This has been a cathartic exercise, which not only expunged all that was receded but also brought to light truth and resolve. The groundwork for our lives is planted during our formative years; many don’t realize the significance, but this journey back to the grass roots enlightens and fulfills. Many of our lives have been touched by others, affected by some and directed to our present juncture. South Africa was no different from any town to grow up in. It was the social parameters and functional separation that did, however, alter what we would call a normal existence, but in hindsight we would not be at the juncture we are if all that has gone before had not gone before. After a childhood fraught with challenges, this is a tribute to those who contributed. I am involved in many arenas in life. I have meandered and engaged in many academic diversions and initially graduated as a pharmacist. Along the way there were varied disciplines and I finally completed a doctorate in philosophy. I love learning and acquiring new knowledge, but I also enjoy imparting knowledge and currently lecture in pharmacognosy. I have been fortunate enough to travel abroad extensively and have met persons and had experiences that will always reside with me.Fredericks, Denver is the author of 'Misadventures of a Lonely Man ' with ISBN 9781424104253 and ISBN 1424104254.
