About Me

Live in the northern subs of Melbourne.. I'm the youngest of three and apparently the most spoilt.. I'm an Aries too. A first generation Aussie and bloody proud of it. I am fluent in Italian. Completed VCE in 1997 and went on to study public relations and journalism at uni... after a break (well, let’s just say I was tossed out of uni :-P ) I returned and completed the Bachelor of Media Studies majoring in Journalism at La Trobe University Bundoora. I have worked in a PR and journalistic role for the past eight years, most recently as a reporter for a newspaper group. If it’s not obvious, I’ll confirm I’m a news and media ‘junkie’.I love Nutella.I’ll be blogging like mad come September… heading overseas and exploring this globe of ours.. US, Canada, UK, Italy, Vietnam, Cambodia here I come.I enjoy all sport, especially soccer, footy, volleyball and tennis. I play soccer, both indoor and out. I’m a keen follower of the mighty Blues… blue blood through and through.I’m a down to earth kinda boy with a quick sense of humour.. I get a kick out of making people laugh. I'm probably an ideal subject for ADHD research... I guess I love life! I do have a serious side though in that I have a direction in life and am working towards achieving the goals I’ve set myself. My family and mates are pretty important to me. I have a close knit group of friends and enjoy spending as much time as possible with them – be it on a holiday somewhere in Victoria or Australia or slumped on the couch with a pizza, chocolate and watching the footy or a pirated movie.david's details...Status -- Single DOB -- 10 April 1980 (born Thursday at 10.27pm) Here for -- Friendhip, Networking, Dating, Colouring in Hometown -- Melbourne Body type -- 183cm / Athletic Ethnicity -- White / Caucasian Religion -- Catholic Zodiac Sign -- Aries Smoke / Drink -- No / No Children -- Ask science Education -- University Graduate Occupation -- Journalistdavid's schools...La Trobe University (2004 – 2006) BUNDOORA, VIC Bachelor's Degree Media Studies (Journalism)Alumni 2006Samaritan Catholic College (1992 – 1997) PRESTON, VIC The school was actually called Redden Catholic College before changing its name post ‘97Alumni 1997LOVEMYFLASH CODE

My Interests

Media… I enjoy the chase, grabbing the grab and developing the story.. presenting the facts and keeping the public in the “know”… I’m intrigued by the whole process. I love writing and reporting, across all mediums of the media.Aviation – I’m an aviation buff. I once wanted to be a pilot but reporting ran through the veins. I enjoy the whole process that is flying and traveling… who said airports and aircraft were boring?Sport… play soccer and have since childhood. Enjoy the footy (AFL) volleyball and tennis too. I’m a mad Blues (Carlton) boy – bring back the class and structure that was the ‘95 Premiership team. Love all sport really.Nature… I’m a fan of the bush, bush walking, wild life and exploring our natural wonders.. I was once an avid horse rider but gave it up due to too many commitments. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t a bit of a greeny at heart (I’m not a lesbian though).
