Interests

I am a passionate AFL fan who supports the North Melbourne Kangaroos, and I try to attend as many games as I can irrespective of our team's position on the ladder. 

I am a keen trivia buff, and love to attend pub trivia. My favourite topic is geography. I try to watch the quiz show 'Jeopardy' most nights to keep my mind fresh, learn new facts and test myself. 

In my spare time I like to garden, and I have accumulated a collection of cacti and succulents.
