One day I’ll live in Cuba and/or Spain and own a winery and write novels and grand histories of important things but until then I make do running a couple of digital agencies specialising in web design and social media strategy. I’ve worked in the digital marketing space for about a decade now and my column for Marketing Magazine on such topics is read by at least eight people now. Before I wrote about marketing I was an actual journalist working for uncle Rupert, during which time I won an award, I can’t remember if it was a Walkley or the Cumberland Newspapers Sports Story of the Month, but I’m going to presume it was the former.

When I’m not writing or marketing I play in a band. Our biggest claim to fame is that we made the Hottest 100 voting list in 2007, which isn’t a very big claim to fame, but hey, you take what you can get. We played the Big Day Out once too, but it was at about 1.30 in the afternoon and we were on at the same time as Grinspoon so not many people came to see us. I once auditioned for MasterChef and I got to the first round but then they asked if I actually wanted to be a chef and I said, ‘well, no, not  really’ and that was the end of that. I climbed a volcano in Vanuatu a year ago and it scared the bejesus out of me, but that’s about the only thing I wouldn’t do again.

These are a few of my favourite things, in no particular order:

  • Ryan Adams
  • Cooking
  • Writing
  • Ernest Hemingway
  • Travelling
  • Truman Capote
  • John Steinbeck
  • Music

And these are things I’m not particularly fond of:

  • Volcanos (the exploding kind, I quite like the Damien Rice song)
  • Kyle Sandilands

That’s about it really, apart from war/despots/general evilness.
