Where I’ve been, what I’ve seen, and who I’ve become.

Born in South Africa in 1991, Dean has always followed the pull of adventure. After moving to Cape Town at 13, his path led him to the high seas—where he spent 13 years working on cruise ships, visiting over 58 countries, 200+ ports, and all seven continents. Every destination added depth, connection, and story.

Today, Dean calls Puerto Vallarta, Mexico home, where he lives with his husband and their two Huskies Sky & Lobo.

The wolf, a key symbol in his branding, is no accident. For Dean, it represents loyalty, instinct, resilience, and the power of the pack—values that shape how he connects, leads, and lives: with heart, intuition, and a touch of wild independence.

Dean is the creator of “The Dean – One Story. A Thousand Moments.” A platform where global hospitality meets creative expression—through personalized services, authentic storytelling, and breathtaking drone footage from around the world. Inspired by his journey and loved ones, Dean shares a life—one moment at a time.
