Born and raised in Melbourne, Australia I have been constantly been around new and modern technologe. From a Young Age I have grown up around Amateur Radio and have followed my father in that hobby. I have pursued it further and have come a long way. Over my life, I have achieved great things. These achievements are at school, in the Scouting World, at Work and in many other areas that I am interested in and involved in.
At this point in time, I have completed my VCE and will be moving to Ballarat to undertake an Advanced Diploma in Live Theatre, Production and Events. I am currently employed for a Major Retail Australian Organization and have been for the past 3 years.
My interest in computers and new technology started in 2005 when I was appointed Performing Arts Captain in Junior School. From this, I was given the opportunity to join the Lighting & Sound Team which was a group of Senior School Students who took part in School Events and Productions. From this I been able to learn a lot about Computers and such technology as well as learn Sound Engineering and Lighting Designs & Programming.
Ever since the upgrade in Internet Connections from Dial-up to Broadband at home, I have been able to take my interests that one step further by using the internet to learn about technology. I have also learnt how to build and create websites from scratch. The internet has been a great resource to me and is a part of the daily routine.
In 2008, I started my first website and have taken things a lot further since then. I now own and operate a number of sites and assist with a few other websites, which include two Business Organizations. My websites are:
- Host 4 Post
- Help My Host
Computers and Websites are not my only hobbies. As I stated above I also enjoy Amateur Radio, which is also known as Ham Radio. I have been involved in Radio from a very young age as my Dad has had a license since he was 19. I used to use his Callsign to talk on the radio. In 2006, I successfully achieved an Australian Foundation License and held that for just under 5 years. In January 2011, I completed a two week radio course to gain my Australian Standard Radio License. In the future, I hope to achieve and hold an Advanced Australian License.
