About
Hi, welcome to my blog.
I’m a 29 year old entrepreneur, who’s now started 3x companies since dropping out of uni, moving out of home and quitting my job in the space of 2 weeks at about the same time as the Nasdaq tanked in 2000.
Against the odds on almost every level, two of my ventures have been quite successful – they’re profitable, have happy clients, staff and real offices, and most importantly, I’ve learned a heck of a lot from them.
I live in Wollongong, NSW, a city of about a quarter million about an hour south of Australia’s largest city, Sydney.
I’m active in the web technology community, mostly through my involvement with SiliconBeachAustralia.org, and I’m involved in my business community through an active involvement with the local business chamber, as well as occassional invitations to sit on reference panels to provide a youth/business perspective to community consultation.
For more info on my “day jobs”, check out my first startup in 2000, Internetrix, a boutique web development and consulting business (which happens to be one of Google’s handful of technology partners globally), and my newest initiative, Hiive Systems, a web-based software development company providing client and task management solutions for the services sector (read finance, government, education, professional services, creative industries).
When I’m not working, I have a passion for aviation and am hopefully 6 months from graduating with my Masters of Business Administration (MBA).
