THE PROFESSIONAL

Industries I have worked in

Advertising, education, finance, startups… and more.

I grew up around entrepreneurs

My parents owned a few food businesses, as did one of my aunts and uncles. I have always seen first-hand the benefit of serving people and delivering value for repeat business and loyalty.

Grew up around the Village Roadshow / Cinema family

Roc Kirby was my great uncle, my late mother’s uncle.

I was a teenage entrepreneur

Aged 14 I started my own business selling computer software for the Commodore 64, and later, the PC. I managed, marketed and built a very lucrative income while completing my schooling.

By 18, I had experience selling software around the world, in person, by post, and through authorised distributors when I created my own two text adventure games for an international audience. These sold thousands of copies around the globe.

I also wrote regular columns for computer magazines.

University knowledge

Connected to all Australian universities, and many international universities and affiliated programs.

Teaching experience

8 years experience (since 2017) as a lecturer at Monash University, University of Melbourne, University of Canberra (partner program) and China.
