About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live life to the fullness, even if that means waking up tired to go to work

ABOUT ME

I finished off my studies in 2006 and spent 2007 in Europe. Had an awesome time working and travelling OS. Now I'm back in Aus and working full time, but planning more travels when I can.

I'm an easy going guy. I enjoy meeting new people and trying new things, big nights out as well as a quiet drink.
