ABOUT ME
Welcome to my journey
A long time ago I impressed a primary school teacher with a poem titled 'Snow' and then in high school I won a poetry competition, after taking the best bits of a poem in an Italian fashion magazine and adding some original 'flavouring', they call it plagarism now, but back then i thought it was 'Arty' .
When the band Talking Heads released 'Remain In Light', I became obsessed with writing lyrics. Then after reading 'Ulysses', I knew that I wanted to become an author.
My main interests have always been Music, Movies, Sport and going to the beach. All my literary creations have strong musical and visual elements.
I am the proud father of Alexandra and Tristan who constantly challenge and delight me in equal proportions. The kids and I like going on holidays, especially Bali, QLD and the South Coast of NSW.
I rank as one of my finest moments making Spike Milligan laugh at an ABC shop book signing - He asked me if I played Rugby, and when I said Yes, he asked me whether i was any good, to which i replied - Nope. It cracked him up. R.I.P. Spike - we miss you.
