Five acts, one through-line.
Thirty years across medicine, teaching, broadcast, movement, and technology. Each act a different answer to the same question.
The Physician
Seven years of medicine at the University of Queensland. Hospital wards, surgical assisting, and later rural skin-cancer clinics and corporate health that ran alongside everything else for a decade. I learned how the human body works, and that fixing bodies isn't the same as helping humans thrive. That question never left.
I was always drawn less to disease than to what comes before it: preventative health. Most disease traces back to lifestyle and the choices behind it, and those choices are usually made from a deeper place than logic. So I gravitated toward the quantified self, biohacking, and peak performance, the edges where a body becomes something you can actually build.
The Teacher
A year into medicine I chased the glamour of the entertainment industry as a music manager, a detour that took me from London to New York to LA and Midem in Cannes, and burned through my savings. What I found on the far side was teaching: I developed and delivered personal development seminars on motivation, mastery, emotional states, meditation, and memory. An accredited professional speaker before I turned 27. I was teaching transformation in my twenties, decades before I truly understood it. It took the next twenty-five years, and every act that follows, to actually earn what I was saying. Now it's coming back around, at a depth I couldn't have reached back then.
The Voice
I never understood the power of the voice until I spent years training with Bill Pepper, past head of Voice Studies at the National Institute of Dramatic Art in Sydney. That gave me the skill and the tools to carve a career on air and behind the mic. TV host for Discovery Channel and Channel NewsAsia. Radio DJ at Power 98 FM. Voice for hundreds of commercials. Emcee for Samsung, SGX, Bloomberg, UN Women, and a $500M arts centre opening alongside David Foster. I learned to hold a room, tell a story, and move people at scale. Then I ran The Connected Voice workshops to pass on everything I'd learned, helping anyone open up and speak with a fully embodied, free voice.
The Body
Founded Superfly Monkey Dragons, Southeast Asia's progressive parkour academy, and spent thirteen years pioneering movement culture across Southeast Asia. Jump Asia. Superfly Showdown. Parkour in school curricula. In 2021 I took up bodybuilding: proof to myself that I could stay with one thing, long enough to transform it. I learned what building with people, and with discipline, actually costs, and what it makes possible.
The Builder
AI changed what one person can build. Since late 2024: eight hackathons, multiple wins, and a portfolio of products at the intersection of everything above: health, connection, story, movement. The toolkit finally caught up to the vision.
