Quinton was born in the Namib Desert and having spent most of his young life in the bush, he began his working career near there as a hunter. He later attained a university degree in the natural sciences after which he specialised in bush survival. Today he is considered one of the leading bushcraft specialists in Southern Africa.
Quinton has always had a passion for expeditions. He has explored remote areas from the icy sub-Antarctic to the sweltering deserts of the Middle-East and has spent time with 'vanishing' tribes in Africa and the Amazon jungles.
As a conservationist, he has managed the animal collection for one of the largest Zoological Gardens in Africa, where he was committed to the breeding of many endangered species worldwide. In this regard he is well known for his commentary in print, on air and on television as presenter of the popular wildlife programme "Veldfocus" on 50/50. He has also trained as a classical pianist.
Quinton's message has universal appeal and he has addressed audiences worldwide. His talks assist people to tap into their natural potential to improve their business skills and performance and to gain a better understanding of themselves and others.
