Hello myspace friends : )

About Me

Hey there myspace friends : ) If your keen have a read about me!!
Lets start with my family... They are my life, we are really close and I love each and every one. In my immediate family I have a lovely sister "Cindy" she is my best friend : ) a brother "Jamie" another best friend but we can sometimes annoy each other haha.. and a great Mum and Dad : ) My family has been the strongest contribution in which has developed me into who I am today..
I'm a stranger’s best friend!! have confidence in every action I make, which has given me good friends all around Australia .. I talk a lot and loud and I LAUGH all the time... Very friendly!!
Past: I started my life journey in a little town called Cowra in NSW, don't remember to much the next few years, so I will jump to my careless kiddy age, this is when we moved to Kalgoorlie (Gold Fields of WA) so Dad could make enough money to raise his little ratbags "not me I was an angel haha".... By primary school, we are now living in Kalamunda a suburb of Perth, what a great place, this is where I learnt most of the good and bad things life has to give. High school played a large roll into who I am now, although it didn't give me any indication of my future as I was there for social development, like most of us.. After that I worked for a while, at an Engineering company, this is when I decided, I wanted to become an Engineer. So I left all my great friends (sadly a distraction) and moved to Melbourne to get my degree.
Now: I have just finished a bachelor of Aerospace Engineering Degree, in Manufacturing and Business Management, which consumed the past 5 years of my life. So now what.... I'm working in the family business which is in my field of studies. Our latest venture has just started in America so by the end of the year I will have to move over there for, I hope no longer than 1 year as I really do love Australia and will miss it and all my friends : (
Interests: Throughout my life I have been involved in all kinds of sports and activities, I try to challenge my limits in everything I do which has lead me into hospital on many occasions, lucky I have a Mum that prays for her family and doesn't get worried no matter how bad it is.. Through high school I raced motocross and did kickboxing to keep fit. Played for the school rugby league team for 2 years. Our family are fanatic water skiers, wake boarding.. I love the beach, growing up in Perth, going to the beach was a regular event : ) Me and my brother try and snowboard as often as possible. Before I started uni I completed half of my private pilot’s license, now back at work and earning money can finally finish it YAY!!! I love planes, mainly the reason for going back to uni..
