From a young age I could never understand the practice of conformity that I saw all around me.
Go to school, then to University, onto a Job and a 30 Year career in a cubicle, and finally retirement to do what you love.
That just seemed backwards to me. I didn’t feel like that was the right way to approach life.
As a result, I have always strived to be different. To be unique. To cut my own path through life.
Starting my first business at age 11 selling lost golf balls, I made a whopping $32.50 profit and have never looked back.
I went on to found an Aquarium Servicing business at age 16, a Party Hire company at 19, a Digital Branding Consultancy at 20 and The Hive Brisbane (non-profit) at 21.
Rebellious by nature, I insist on finding a cleverer and more interesting way of living life, having fun and of course, changing the world!
