I'm Australian

I was born and raised in a small country town in southwestern New South Wales which has less than 900 people. I went to boarding school for six years and earned degrees from the University of Melbourne and Deakin University.

​

I've visited over 40 countries. I've lived in Venezuela, Vietnam, South Korea and New Zealand during my career as an Australian public servant and as a diplomat.

​

After a long time away, I'm now living in Canberra and it's awesome to be home and putting down roots with my partner, Jeff, and our sons.
