I was born in Melbourne, Australia in 1974.

I’ve always been interested in writing science fiction and I made my first sale to an Australian magazine when I was 18.

I’ve had  short stories and articles published in magazines, newspapers and web sites.  I have been a finalist for the Aurealis Awards, several of my stories have received honorable mentions in Year’s Best SF anthologies and I was the youngest writer to have an entry in the Encyclopedia of Australian Science Fiction and Fantasy.

In 2009 I attended the Clarion South science fiction writing workshop in Brisbane.

I did a computer science degree at Monash University in Melbourne.  After university I worked for an Australian computer games company as a programmer and designer.  I’ve also worked as a software consultant and web site programmer.

I even have my own entry in the Internet Movie Database.  (For a computer game I worked on).

I love travelling and have visited more than 70 countries.  Some of the interesting places I’ve been include: North Korea, Belarus and Transnistria (not officially a real country).  I worked in Bolivia for a short time as a journalist for a Bolivian English-language newspaper.  I lived in Osaka in Japan for 4 years and worked as an English teacher.  Now I’m working as a web site programmer.

Some of my articles and stories have been translated into Romanian and Polish.
