CURRENT MISSION

To keep learning, keep living and to keep smiling

ABOUT ME

I enjoy life itself, travel whenever the chance arises, don't waste days doing something not important or not enjoyable and tend to work hard to create new opportunities. Does that make sense? Anyway, you only live once so get on & do it.

I live my life with a good heart, with care, and with passion & focus for everything I do. Right now this would be my focus to move to to the US to go business school in September 2010.

What else is important to me? Family, friends, staying fit & healthy, and making sure that every day is a productive day. As such, I'm not the type of person to turn an experience/opportunity down; as such I have done a lot in my time on planet earth. My job/career is important and so is being happy. To get what you want out of life you do have to work hard - I am a big believer in that. So you will find that I do work hard.

I certainly make the most of spare time though, for example in the last two years I've been to Hong Kong, China, Malta, New York, Vienna, Miami, Tampa, Denver, LA, the UK, some cool places in Australia and am shortly off to US & Europe again for a few weeks.

Good conversation is important so I'm not shy in striking them up. Living in Melbourne for the last year has brought me into contact with some brilliant people. It's a city so full of character, maybe one reason I like it so much. So, if you've never been, give it a go.

PHILOSOPHY

To get as much out of it as possible; to experience as much as possible. For example, I moved from the UK to Melbourne not really knowing anyone and have built up a fantastic group of friends, and a fantastic life. But I want to do it all again in the US - I don't just want to travel somewhere - I want to spend concerted time there. And just as importantly I always want to keep learning so every day I try to educate myself (probably one reason I'm aiming for business school). I place high value on education and have a productive life so I'm always on the go.
