Life is like a box of chocolates... indeed it is. Throughout my career I have had many and varied roles, but most have related to my passion for writing and websites, some combining these two elements, while others couldn't have been further away from each other - all in all plenty of life experience along the way though. Working in the media since 1994, in one form or another, with experience as a full time and freelance journalist, newspaper editor, and sports editor, having written for North Shore Times, Parramatta Advertiser, Blacktown Advocate, Mt Druitt Standard, Penrith Press, Which Car? Magazine, Street Machine Magazine, People Magazine, Auto Action, and Motorsport News and now Local Life magazine and various specialist publications. Add 13 years helping businesses by designing and developing websites, and then helping them market their website and grow their brand via their online presence, including social media into that mix via my own business. Gained experience in website design and development (CSS, HTML, FLASH, PERL, JAVASCRIPT) along the way, as well as plenty of SEO knowledge. On a personal level, in 2009 I began to turn my life around, working hard to lose and keep off 50kg, with a new and refocused attitude, and a love for running, and an even bigger love for cycling (now if only I could swim I could do triathlons). Love my family, it's what motivates me to achieve at both a professional and personal level.
