I was born in Sydney and grew up in its Southern suburbs, although I now live on the northern beaches I am still a season ticket holder at Kogarah Oval, partial home ground for the St George Dragons RLFC.
I have lived here most of my life, except for a decade in Canberra.
My career over the past 25 years has spanned economic research, politics, public administration and public relations.
Beyond that I have broad interests in literature, art and science - and a lot else.
