I'm a Brand Manager at a large Sydney publishing company. I also handle TV and DVD producion, but one thing you'll soon find out about me is that I'm a self confessed car and bike nut. I love hanging out with friends, going out or just chilling on the couch with my girl (she's awesome xxoo Janita). I've worked for pretty much all of the top Australian car magazines at one stage or another as a freelancer and spent several years at the well-known Fast Fours Magazine. I'm also producer of a TV show called Zero2Hero (Stay tuned for that!). I'm a keen photographer and have shot more motorsport events than I can remember, but now also love shooting motion video and have consequently REAMED my bank account to do so :P I'm a team player and I like bringing together great talent in one publication.Aside from that I used to be a mechanic many moons ago, so I don't mind getting my hands dirty. Most recently I put together this concept "hotrod" bike I named BLADEROD. Starting with a Japanese street bike (1998 CBR 900RR), I transformed it into something which seems to be getting alot of attention. Cool eh! So far it has been in 6 different publications (one being the cover of Australia biggest selling bike mag) so far and has been the USA's Super Streetbike Magazine. I'm also part of as Aussie stunt team called Cunningstunts, but I haven't ridden that much in the last 18 months, so all my team mates are kicking my butt to get back on a bike. Breaking my leg taught me that career comes first. Reality has its set backs.MySpace has a lot of great people on it, so if I click the add button, don't hate me. I'm no stalker, I probably just read your profile and thought you were a cool person. Either way, those who think they're too important on here need a slight reality check. Fame really doesn't mean anything to me. I always thought it did, but to tell the truth we're all made up of the same atoms so if you meet me and look down at me...good for you :PAnyhow, me being the optimistic, laid-back guy I am I won't go out on a sour note. Don't be negative in life. Live each day as a new adventure not as if its your last.Great to meet ya.Boxer
