About Me
A bit outdoorsy, a bit indoorsy. Fly-fishing one day and fishing for crumbs in crisp packets the next, what can be referred to as a “well-rounded existence”.
My path into marketing hasn’t been a straightforward route. In fact, besides a little bit of travel, I have also worked on and off in a varied range of industries such as Possum Controller, Plumbers Assistant, Glacier Guide, Nightclub DJ, Outdoor Shop Retailer… and even a Gold Buyer. You aren’t dealing with some fresh-faced University book trained lackey, there’s actually some life experience under my belt.
No suits, no flash cars, no gimmicks (unless a pair of jandals counts), just the development of strategies, branding and marketing solutions for numerous clients over the last decade plus.

Awards & Embellishments
I have won several awards and been directly involved with many winning brands and colleagues. Somehow I manage to take a podium spot in most every awards area I’ve felt obliged (pushed) to enter.
Generally, accolades are not my thing. That reluctance also extends into gathering enough client testimonials for this website.
So let’s wrap up about all of the horn-tooting I’ll do… it’s more of an observation than a brag.
