Esoteric, inquisitive, and a tad rebellious, I draw from extensive experiences and sharp lessons to inform my evolving perspective–converting my thoughts into actionable insights readers can use to vitalise thinking and augment understanding.
Little about my life has been mundane. Whether flirting with the Olympics or labouring through the labyrinth of torment and despair, I found the unusual provocative. The extremes were battlegrounds that revealed my best and worst. On these fields, opportunities for personal growth materialised–igniting my introspective blowtorch.
A decorated junior and multiple senior national champion, Track & Field was my affliction–gold my addiction. Success came quickly but my Olympic flame extinguished early–a once promising career destroyed overnight.
My time in elite sport proved instructive. It was an investment demanding uncompromising engagement, it revealed my character, shaped my values, exposed truths, and implanted the irreplaceable–stellar people.
Through sport, I learnt to ignore the noise, concentrating efforts on things in my control. To that end, and for those in my orbit, I try to make the world a better place.
Masters educated with an appetite for knowledge, I’m widely read but also, firmly believe in experiential learning. Theory is one thing, in practice another. I seek out those with thought-provoking opinions and routinely parse the unconventional. A born adventurer, shattering perceived boundaries is my elixir.
I welcome divergent perspectives, viewing all as unique and complex individuals. While I may not agree with you, I value the elucidation and exchange of competing ideas. If nothing else, I aim to be interesting, educational, entertaining, and value-add to your life.
To the reader, know this. I express raw and honest opinions. I will never fail to treat you as the intelligent and idiosyncratic individual you are.
Life is too short for the boring and prosaic. Join me in being bold and imaginative.
