Basic Info BioI'm now into my fifth year living in Canberra, where I moved for work. Before that, I lived in Queensland - everywhere and yet nowhere.
I work in radio, which I started in because I thought it was adjacent enough to acting to be helpful for my career. Turns out to be a major setback to acting because it's now a full time job. A career path, almost. It's not a straight path, though. I've been a receptionist, a promotional vehicle driver, a late night announcer, half a breakfast comedy team, a music programmer, a panel operator, a weekend announcer, a commercial writer...then a full two weeks as the website editor for a national tabloid magazine (thus ending my illustrious career in the print media)...and then back into radio. Now I write commercials and promos, and occasionally still end up on air. The problem with radio is the more skills you pick up, the more people expect you to do. Actually, that's not really a problem.
I've done several things I never thought I'd ever do; including sit on a tiger shark, appear as a contestant on Wheel of Fortune, interview Joan Rivers, start and finish a career within two weeks (see re: illustrious print career), take part in a zombie film, and visit the birthplace of Tom Cruise. (No, I did not set out to visit the birthplace of Tom Cruise - I only found out last week where it was, and I realised I'd been there. In fact, I watched King Kong at a mall there. Exciting.)
I don't believe in ironing. It's against my religion - which is a specific anti-ironing religion that I made up. The only doctrines I have so far are the no ironing thing, and that dvd collections must be arranged in perfect alphabetical order. I'll add more as I think of them, and if you'd like to join this religion let me know. All are welcome.
Except gays.
Just kidding! Gays are welcome.
You'll just have to pay a small fee.
Just kidding! It's actually quite a substantial fee.
