As an educator, Boois was a teacher at the Ecumenical Community Secondary School in Berseba.
Boois was involved in a controversy regarding the different factions of the traditional leadership of the ǀHaiǀKhaua (Berseba Orlam) subtribe of the Nama people. He supported a group contesting the legitimacy of the reunification of the Goliath and Isaak rival clans and tried to extend the 50-year-long split of the Berseba Orlam. Eventually Boois supported the unity of the tribe by reconciling with fellow former Karas governor Stephanus Goliath early in 2011.

He attended Redwood High School in Marin County, followed by San Diego State University. Prior to founding Rockstar, Weiner landed a business development position at Skyy Vodka after randomly meeting company founder Maurice Kanbar. After a year at Skyy, Weiner quit to start Rockstar. He mortgaged his condo in Sausalito, California to raise his $50,000 startup costs. Rockstar’s major innovation was simple: A bigger can.

After testing more than 700 variations of the future drink, the final formula was chosen and Rockstar’s cans hit the shelves with roughly double the liquid volume of a Red Bull.
