I have spent most of my working life managing stuff. FMCG management, music biz management, arts, education, book publishing … The inherent conflict between art and business does it for me. Go figure.

I consider myself an entrepreneur with a love of tech & music. I have a rather unique view of the whole thing and being a lover of techy, geeky stuff as much as sweet tunes, I’m the guy you want on your side if your trying to profitably combine the two.

My most recent venture before co-founding Red Hill Publishing in 2009 was the online trade journal Entertainment+Media. At 20,000 daily uniques it bombed but I sure learned a lot about the business of the internets.

As for today, I’m working on my first music/tech start-ups: one is a simple enough solution bringing fans and performing artists together to solve some inherent problems in touring; and the other is a much more complex solution to digital rights.

I have managed recording and performing artists. I’ve also done my time orchestrating marketing campaigns and events in the music and education industries.

Foodie, multi-instrumentalist, music fan, lover of the flickers. I am these things plus many things sport (particularly Formula 1, Mark Webber, the NFL, Patriots and the NY Yankees).

I’m a devoted family guy, which means lots of time hanging with my girls.

I own Acute Communication, which owns ipf.asia, Australia’s only conference focused on the business of books, creative management firm Global Creative Artists where we provide creative thinking for creative people and book packager and occasional publisher Red Hill Publishing.
