edit data

I was born in the 80′s and I grew up on a farm just outside of Canberra, Australia. We had 2,500 acres of land and we made a living by raising sheep and selling their wool.

I went to school, I made friends, I lived in New Zealand as an exchange student, and I somehow managed to get good grades despite my considerable efforts to the contrary.

I like my sport, I like my reading, I like my computer games. I am a nerd/geek/whatever label fits best who has had a lifelong love of Sci-Fi, Fantasy and Horror.

I met my wife in 2006 and we were married in 2010. She is my best friend and she inspires me to always better myself in each and every facet of my life.

If you want to know more, just ask me.
