When I was 18 I worked for a car wash company responsible for cleaning all the cars of a particular dealership. I negotiated a deal with the owner of the dealership to take over the contract and work directly with him, rather than the company, resulting in a 33% salary increase.

I am a massive fan of cards, board games and anything else in that genre of entertainment. If you ever need a fourth player to make up a game of 500 or Settlers of Catan, get in touch.

In year 12 I was presented with the 'Most likely to be arrested by the Fashion Police' award.

I believe in karma, have completed a five-week course in Buddhism, and stayed at a Buddhist temple in Japan.

I enjoy painting, but don't do it nearly often enough. My favourite artist is Van Gogh.

I once flew to Sweden from Australia for one weekend for the sole purpose of delivering a cassette tape to an engineer, and to Sydney to watch 25 minutes of an un-edited Transformer movie at Paramount Studios, six months before it was released. Both were for work!

My favourite colour is orange, and I wear orange socks almost every day.

My favourite quote is: 'If at first an idea does not seem absurd, there is no hope for it' - Albert Einstein

I have been featured in national TV, press and radio for my six-year goal to complete 183 goals before I turn 30, called Project 183 - www.project183.com.

At 19, I beat 300 applicants to secure one of two positions available at General Motors (GM) Australia. At 23, I landed a level 8 role in marketing, a level rarely awarded to someone of my age, and at 24 I was the joint winner of the GM Director's Award for my part in securing $1 million in additional sales.

I played violin for 13 years, and have performed at the Sydney Opera House.

I am a closet greenie, and once created a deal between Saab and Greenfleet that led to over 50,000 trees being planted in Australia.
