Who are your personal influences?

My biggest fan, my young brother Tawanda Tinarwo. I yearn to exceed his expectations of me, in everything i do.

How do you feel about the current state of the economy?

Low, slow growth for the foreseeable future. The downside – low and slow. The upside – growth.

2012 is an election year so there definitely will be stronger efforts to lower unemployment, lower interest rates, decrease inflation and a focus on GDP growth.
