About Me
Aston Martin DB9 Sport- The car that God drives. And me.
Born on or around (or near) 1971, I am a freelancer who does not specialise. I present motoring and motor sport on Fairfax Radio 3AW and host a podcast for CarAdvice. I also write a little for both 3AW and BikeAdvice and a number of miscellaneous blogs and publications from time to timw. To stay current, check my In The Media section.
When asked nicely, I say “Yes, I’d love to be your MC/event host”. From sportsman’s nights to trivia nights, I host the annual MotoGP riders apperance at Federation Square in Melbourne.
When broke and/or impressed I also do the odd advertisment and TVC/Web video for the highest bidder. Bill Hicks may not like it, but then he’s not here to beat me up.
I’m also highly knowledgable and experienced in the online space. While I’m nominally an Account Manager, of late I have begun to spend more time framing ideas and execution in social media for a number of different companies. This work forms the backbone of my consulting work, but is still not quite as sexy as commentating on F1 or MotoGP, so it’s last in this profile. My accountant says it ought to be first. My wife says I just “better get a damn job”. Whatever.

Speaking of the “trouble and strife“, I’m married to the wonderful and patient Rachel. We have a lil rug rat/chip off the ol’ block named Harry. He was born in July 2008 and is both awesomely fun as well as a total ballbreaker.
Outside of my work interests I’m into things that are still strangely work related. I love technology, games and fiddling with stuff I am totally not qualified to even look at. Outdoors I like to windsurf when it’s howling, pedal a mountain bike downhill, snowboard, do a track day, race motocross, go camping (rougher the better) tend to my veggie garden.
Ok, so that’s me. Feel free to get in in touch via my contact page- copies of my CV as well as my rates for writing, broadcasting and consulting are available on request or call me- 0409 964 549.

Tom
