A little about me.

Relentlessly creating. Relentlessly learning.

Hello, welcome. This site exists mostly for idle thoughts and experiments.
Some work – LinkedIn | Some play – Github

I started my first company in a garage at 23. An underground radio station that grew into its own premises. The first liquor-licensed venue of its kind, with studios, a gallery, an events agency, and a third space for many.

I built a live-streaming platform in 2009, years before Twitch or YouTube Live made it normal. We punched above our weight, pulled off a few Australian firsts, won a stack of awards, and I sold it.

Then I spent a decade proving the founder skillset travels, parachuting into other people’s chaos and delivering. Hospitality at the F1. Hundreds of staff and 40k+ crowds at Ultra Music Festival. A broadcast pivot for the Australian Open. The tech behind the Southern Hemisphere’s biggest esports venue.

Landmark government projects north of $100M (one of which won Best Government Project nationally). Then leading projects inside the Future Fund, Australia’s $300B+ sovereign wealth fund.

Now I’m building again. Something that brings the human back to a world drowning in generic output. WroteItMyself. And my wife’s doing some very cool things, too.

Always remember the human. Share ownership, pride in the work. Lift others up, bring people along for the ride. Celebrate each other.

Building’s more fun that way. Send it.

Oh, and I like chats.

(Adam is also very interested in a dark spiced rum, orange bitters, and smoked maple syrup in a glass (his winter-old-fashioned creation)).
