Where on the planet are you currently located? I live in Richards Bay in South Africa!

Tell us about your career and your business projects? I have had a roller-coaster of a "career" so far, still being a full-time student.

John Edmund Tanner Brunskill – A pilot built for the world

“A university degree or college diploma is not the only route to a successful career... - Different careers require different approaches,” - John Edmund Tanner Brunskill

By Yashivan Govender

Being a Pilot is the dream career of many and the ambition of the brave. With speeds that make some stomachs churn and eyes light up – it is a career that is more of an adventure than a job. I have met John Edmund Tanner Brunskill (aptly shortened to “Jet”) a few times and his mentioning that he is a pilot has led to multiple discussions about his career. So when I finally lined up an interview with him and he fittingly arrives at our meeting rendezvous in central Munich on a Ducati. Blaring away and revving the engine on his bike, you can imagine a constant need for speed in his blood.
