CURRENT MISSION

To be better. Better at life, better at love, better at tetris.

ABOUT ME

I'm a talker. I talk A LOT. I love meeting new people and learning more about humanity and the world. I'm very artistic and enjoy people who are as well. I feel myself tolerating negativity and pessimism less and less these days. I'm from a chaotic, crazy, tragic, beautiful family who screwed me up in the best way possible. I now believe I can be a successful filmmaker. I'm gay, and I am realising more and more how much I like it. I love Melbourne but I want to travel a lot.

PHILOSOPHY

The only way to fail is to give up.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Standing at Dead Horse Point in Canyonlands National Park in Utah. Looking into the deep canyon. Everything was bigger than me and I'd never felt so good about feeling so mortal.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share encyclopedic knowledge of 20th century popular film. I can share an ability to play the piano with wild abandon. I can share endless conversation.

I'd like to hear stories, learn about different places.
