| Inleiding | I grew up in Perth and graduated from Curtin Uni in the early 90s after a stint working overseas, only to find jobs in the journalism game somewhat thin on the ground in WA. After a period working as a part time reporter for the Fremantle Herald and as a film reviewer for X-Press, I found a job as a journo for the Post Newspaper Group in sunny Melbourne. I spent the latter part of the 90s working on a range of titles in Melbourne's outer east, before landing a job as production editor for The Footy Show Magazine in 1999. That went belly-up inside 12 months (thanks for your support Ed!)and that same year my son was born. Soon after I moved into PR and spent five years with a small firm in Albert Park and lived in the lovely inner city suburb of Yarraville. Our daughter was born in late 2004 and we decided that after 11 years, it was time to pack up and head back to Perth. The latest bouncing baby boy joined the team in 2007 - balancing up the mix of Vics and Sandgropers. So, here we are... I'm still in PR, the wife is processing 457 visas and we have four reserved seats at Subiaco oval where we bleed purple every second weekend over the winter months... |
