I’m an ACT boy who spent his early years in Queensland, high school in South Australia, then chose Adelaide as home for both work, life and marriage. Now I’m an Aussie bloke living on Kangaroo Island as a dedicated family man, online entrepreneur, window cleaner, and very creative artist.
Keep reading to discover that I juggle a few different hats every day.
I’m a proud dad to two sons, the younger a dinosaur enthusiast and the older a Nintendo gamer and high-functioning Autistic.!
I am married to an amazing woman who is not only my wife but also an inspiring entrepreneur, successfully running her own honey business with unwavering passion.
I am forever trying to master the art of balancing work, family, and the occasional existential discussion during a well-deserved coffee break with great local friends.
Soon after moving to Kangaroo Island I decided to become a small business owner/operator, with the aim to run a successful window cleaning business.
A few months later an opportunity crossed paths with me - and I have since become a respected, professional window cleaner, providing a necessary and trusted service to the local community.
I have been creating and selling my merchandise designs on Redbubble since 2012, building on the skills and craft I have been refining since 1998.
I became a radio presenter for 5KIxFM90.7 Kangaroo Island Community Radio in 2017, a rewarding role that amplifies the unique voice of our island while also sharpening my public speaking skills.
I irregularly write articles on my blog. The sujects are a variety of subjects and genres, ranging from self improvement to CSSx ideas.
With over 15 years of knowledge and experience writing HTML5 and CSS3, I've honed my skills to create aesthetically pleasing websites displaying style, design and functionality. I am also testing AI to write code.
Expressing my thoughts in poetry has been a passion since my childhood. I have a poetry collection that goes back to the mid-1980's. I still write, plus plan to publish a few books within the next few years.
Photography is my sanctuary. Whether I’m capturing Kangaroo Island’s rugged landscapes or experimenting with arty close-ups, my camera is never far from reach. My photography is also on Redubble.
I began building a RC Car during Covid. It's still a work in progress.
I was gifted a Super73ZG in early 2021. The battery is dead. ☹
Between 2020 and 2024, my mind, heart, and soul faced unexpected challenges that left a deeper impact than I ever anticipated. Now, in 2025, I’m finally starting to emerge from those tough years. Those who know me well understand what I’ve been through and have stood by me, helping me process, reflect, and rediscover parts of myself.
While I’m not the same person I was, my core passions and skills remain—though some have taken on a new direction, helping me grow into someone stronger and more intentional.
Living with [REDACTED] syndrome and Meniere’s disease has thrown its share of curveballs my way, but it’s also taught me invaluable lessons about resilience, self-acceptance, and embracing imperfection.
These experiences have profoundly influenced how I approach parenting, writing, and connecting with the world around me, reminding me to lean into my strengths and keep moving forward.
Thanks for dropping by to read my story. I encourage you to grab a coffee, find me online, and chat about the subjects laid bare.
When visiting Kangaroo Island, look for me - I will have a squeegee in one hand, a camera in the other
and living life on the REAL land down-under!
I stay happy with my own mantra and regularly read my life lessons. Keep up!
