Hobbies
I have a number of Hobbies, that constantly keep me busy and experiencing new things. I enjoy playing sports, currently playing AFL for my local club the 'Pennant Hills Demons' and social basketball with friends. I have also grown up having played multiple sports, including Rugby League, Soccer, Cricket and Tennis. With an endeavour to try and play decent golf, whenever I have a day off.
I enjoy watching and discussing domestic sports with mates including Rugby League, AFL, Cricket, and Boxing. I am also heavily invested in watching sports taking place primarily internationally such as the NBA, UFC and Formula 1.
More recently, I have taken my love for Motor-sport and begun Podcasting for 'The Pit Box', where our podcast gets uploaded on Spotify every week and also played on Friday at 6 PM on Triple H 100.1fm.
Travelling, like many people, is also another prominent hobby of mine. Taking myself across Australia or overseas with family and friends, experiencing independency and thriving in new cultures, having travelled to India and Indonesia, two amazing eye-opening countries.
I love surrounding myself with friends and family, making memories and being a person in my social circle that people can trust and feel comfortable being around.
