My full time business is running Intelliwolf, a full service web design and development company. I love running, have run 5 marathons so far, married with two young sons.

I'm 5th generation Australian on all sides. Yes, my great-great-grandmother was the last of any of my ancestors to arrive on these shores. My ancestors first came to Australia in 1815 as convicts to Van Diemen's Land. Another line landed in what is now Perth (my hometown) in 1830, on the 11th ship to make land here.

I also run an online, over-the-shoulder video based web design training course, which mainly centers on using Wordpress and the Genesis/Dynamik combination.

Just to round out the work, I've do a lot of php programming work with Network Empire and other organizations. I taught myself php in the same way as I taught myself html, css, javascript, jQuery and python. I really enjoy the challenge of learning a new language, then building something amazing. It's also been helpful to my website development work when I can just write a plugin to do something I need done, but for which no plugin exists.

When I'm not working, running, hanging out with the wife or playing with the kids, I love learning more about the world around us. I particularly love astronomy, neuroscience and robotics. With my son Jamie (5 years old) and Josh (2 as of writing), we spend a lot of time exploring the world of dinosaurs, reading, playing Pokemon Go and otherwise being active.
