About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I am an artist looking to explore the world and take in all it's wonders and mysteries. I intend to take my time absorbing the splendour of every new place I have the fortune to live. And live I will, for what is life if you do not explore it's meaning.

ABOUT ME

I grew up in a family of eight kids all my true brothers and sister, yes only one sister haha.
We were all home schooled and taught everything by our parents.
My parents never stayed in any one place for too many years which meant I got used to moving from an early stage of life.
when I got to 19 my parents were living out in the middle of farming lands in the north west of Victoria, I should also mention that it was semi-desert out there and it was a long way from any large towns.
As I didn't like the area I with my savings moved to Melbourne.
I have lived in Melbourne since and now intend to go live in many places across the world.
I will miss the many friends I have made in Melbourne, as I know I will miss the many I will make on the journey ahead.

PHILOSOPHY

If I keep moving one foot in front of the other I will make it to the next day and each day is it's own.

I wish to understand.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Played table tennis against one of Australia's top table tennis players in a tournament, had my ass handed to me but it was fun.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can help one to explore their artistic side, learn the basics of contact juggling, teach table tennis to an intermediate level.
Being positive most of the time I love to see others improving even if only a little, it brings me joy.
