I am the Canberra correspondent for the Sydney Star Observer, Australia's oldest and most read gay and lesbian newspaper. Previously I headed the editorial team in Sydney as news editor. I try to focus on Australian politics and government affairs, but frequently stray for the sake of a good story.
My stories have also been published in The Advocate, Southern Star, QNews, bnews, Blaze, LOTL, Out in Perth, and republished on countless blogs and online news sites.
On radio I am a regular contributor on JOY 94.9's Rainbow Report in Melbourne. If I ever master the terror of live radio, I'll next consider sky diving and bull running.
My blog Gayety.net was discontinued after six rewarding years so I could focus on my professional writing.
Born and raised in Mildura, in the rural far north-west corner of Victoria, I left home to discover the world through the most archetypal sandstone university in affordable reach. I studied computer science and liberal arts and took leadership roles in a variety of campus clubs in lieu of a social life.
I've performed in scouting gang shows, won national-level skating championships, tutored aspiring geeks, written for government ministers, found time to fall in love.
I like historical intrigue, programming just for fun, writing for fun and profit, bushwalking, climbing national monuments, walking through strange suburbs and observing people in an entirely non-stalker way.
