My dad worked as an Australian Diplomat so I grew up in Malaysia, South Africa, Chile and France

I once sat next to an actual princess at a lunch

I'm frustratingly close to a round 200cm tall

I love languages and speak Spanish, French and a bit of Italian and German (recovering DuoLingo addict)

I am on a lifelong quest to make the perfect coffee, sour dough, pizza and smoked brisket

I lived in London with my wife and two kids for six years (we planned to be there for 12 months)

I'm a great whistler

I can somehow experience both incredible optimism and abject doomerism for the future simultaneously

I am a huge space nerd

My wife is a volunteer for Sydney Wildlife Rescue, meaning I generally have a possum living in my office (see below)
