Hobbies

I like to spend as much of my free time outside as I can, as it gives me an avenue to reset and reflect on my busy lifestyle. I own a four-wheel drive and spend many of my weekends and holidays camping and finding new surf breaks. When I am at home, I enjoy experimenting refining my culinary skills and watching the footy with my friends and family.
