Childhood ‘job’ ambition: - Graphic Design.

First regular job (after leaving school): - Radio 2EA Sydney (now known as SBS Radio) and Channel 0-28 (now known as SBS). I floated between the two.

First radio job (when and where): - Radio 2EA, then in Clarence Street, Sydney.

When did you commence at your current station? - December 2017.

Briefly describe ‘yesterday’s’ working day - Busy, creative, productive, positive with a few laughs along the way.

Hobbies and passions (apart from family) outside of your radio role - Fishing, photography (have won many awards, including one with Capture Magazine. - Graphic Design, I design a lot of the stations graphics, including our own logos.

Do you have a trademark ‘motto’ or ‘saying’? (e.g. “everyday provides a new opportunity”) - No two days are ever the same in radio.

Name a radio mentor - There are several, but in all honesty, Jarrad Brooke who works alongside me here at 2TM and 92.9fm, has to be one of the best people in the industry. He is passionate, compassionate, clever, funny and always there to help no matter what.
