I've had lots of jobs in my adult life. I've been a fruit-picker, a lobster processor, a general hand at a caravan park, I spent 10 years in the Australian Air Force, first as a data processor then as a mainframe systems operator. Then I resigned and got a job with Australian Quarantine on their LAN Helpdesk, one of the first in Australia. I moved across to their Compliance department as a systems manager before quitting to move interstate. At the same time as I resigned the Airforce, I started concentrating on my only real career, being a songwriter/performer/producer. While working the above day jobs, I was also working as a music journalist, a performer, promoter and radio DJ. I moved interstate to Australia's largest city to help further my music career.
Since I've been here, I've had jobs as a Circulations & Distributions Manager for a large magazine publishing company before moving into hospital administration, which is where I've been for 10 years now. I wrote for a number of music magazines, as well as a social commentary magazine. I also worked as a promoter, MC and coordinator for a Entertainment company. These days, most of my writing is done online, when I can find the time.
As for my career as a musician, well, I'm still working at it. I'm currently working with a hip hop outfit and we're starting to build a name for ourselves. I'm not encumbered by the same desire I had as a young man to be rich and/or famous, these days more concentrating on honing my skills as a producer/songwriter.
