“The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails.”


I'm an Australian studying Global Business and Marketing at Suffolk University in Boston, MA. I previously lived in Angola, Spain and England. Globalization right?

My passions include watching and playing soccer, traveling, house music and meeting new people - sometimes all at once.

I believe that goal setting is important. I'm all in favor of "going with the flow", but without goals I would never get anything done. Some of my more long term aims include: starting my own business, getting an MBA, and investing in Africa to fight poverty and create sustainable growth.
