I am one of the luckiest guys I know. I have a great network of friends and family who I can call very close.
As a teen I was given the chance to go and live in France in 1999. I learned more that year than I'd ever learned before. AFS placed me as the second ever student into a gay host family. I had two host daddies - and they treated me as their equal. My first year overseas showed me that people could fall in and out of love at any time, as they separated sometime later and it upset me greatly at the time. It was very honourable what they did, and I had a great time! I learned another language, and it opened my eyes to the way another culture views things.
I worked and traveled Europe for 3 years, teaching French and English at a university in Viet Name for a year on the way home to Australia.
Here, I ran a sales business into a team of 5 people, for 5 years before deciding it was time to announce it was no longer sustainable.
At this time I was given an opportunity as a contractor in the IT industry, to which I remain committed.
I'm looking to collaborate with authors and artists on a technical project.
