I know, that's quite the introduction. I promise you, I'm not half as serious as that bio makes me out to be. In truth, I am just a cheeky boy from Australia who has been blessed to see the absolute best of humanity, and the absolute worst through my years when I left my home to find that something greater. Little did I know that something greater was in my native homeland. But without all that, I wouldn't have got here today. Funny how spirit works that way, doesn't it? I wouldn't have found my way out of the USA working commercial jobs, a slave to the system, a self-interested fool with a massive ego if I never went to Alaska and sat with the native crew and reshaped the way I saw the world (it didn't help I got deported start after this, ay? Talk about spirit jumping in to set your life straight.) Back home it changed the focus, from me to others, and I started to reframe everything I did for the good of others. the next big thing to get me to where we are now, is COVID-19, when I was stuck in India at the height of the pandemic, coming home to Australia to be randomly (or not so randomly) connected with my mentor, Dig. That is when everything changed. When certain things were asked of me, and when the old people ask you to do something, you do it. And so, here we are.
