Question
Answer
Where did you grow up and what did you love best about that part of the world?

I grew up on a small island off the coast of Townsville - Magnetic Island. 

What other sports do you enjoy watching/playing?

I am a big fan of watching almost all professional sports, but love watching the Matildas and the Brisbane Lions AFLW team.

What do you love about the Suzuki brand?

My favourite thing about Suzuki is the fact that they have a vehicle for everybody, they love adventure, but have an amazing family feel at the same time.

When you're not 'at work' what do you like to do to unwind?

When I’m not at work, you can find me either studying or spending time with my golden retriever, Lola.

Suzuki Queensland (cars) has been around since 1974. What were you doing in 1974...?

Ummm, I wasn’t even a thought for my parents 'way back' in good old 1974!

What would you regard as your biggest personal or professional achievement?

Participating in and winning gold at the 2022 Commonwealth Games and 2023 Netball World Cup.

If you weren't a professional sportsperson, what type of work would you be doing?

I have a university degree in Forensic Science and am working on getting my masters in Imaging so if I wasn’t playing sport, I hope I would be doing something in those fields.

What Suzuki model are you currently driving and how does it fit into your lifestyle?

I am currently driving a Suzuki Swift Sport. This car has fit perfectly into my lifestyle as it’s compact, agile, and has heaps of room for everything I need - plus plenty of extra leg room.

Are you a good cook, and if so, what's your 'go-to' meal?

I have mastered a few good meals, but my claim to fame is my ability to cook roast pork!

What's your favourite destination in Australia to holiday in?

Other than visiting my family on Magnetic Island, I love spending time in Melbourne.

At what age did you start playing netball, and at which club?

I started playing netball at 12 years old, for Magnetic Island Primary School.

Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard.

Question
Answer
Where did you grow up and what did you love best about that part of the world?

I was born in Scotland and grew up in Glasgow. The best thing about that part of the world is that Christmas is in winter, so it actually makes sense! 38 degrees on Christmas day I will never get used to…..

What other jobs did you do prior to media/comedy/radio?

A few... I managed a subway store, ran a café in the city and my favourite, I worked at blockbuster video for a year…….

What do you love about the Suzuki brand?

Honestly I have been an ambassador for other car brands in the past and Suzuki just suits my personality so much better. It's about fun and active living and reliability. Perfect.

When you're not 'at work' what do you like to do to unwind?

I play a lot of guitar (sorry neighbours!) I’m just getting back into gaming buying a PS5 and I love going to the movies with my daughter Rori.

Suzuki Queensland (cars) has been around since 1974. What were you doing in 1974...?

I was born in 1978 so I guess I was waiting for my dad to get lucky ; )

What would you regard as your biggest personal or professional achievement?

I think just managing to be in the entertainment industry for 19 years (and counting) is my biggest achievement. I still can't believe I've made a living off  making people laugh.

If you weren't a professional media star, what type of work would you be doing?

I would be singing covers at a bowls club on a Sunday afternoon.

What Suzuki model are you currently driving and how does it fit into your lifestyle?

I have the S-Cross and it’s the perfect car for our family. There's only three of us (four counting the dog) so the car is the perfect size for all our needs.

Are you a good cook, and if so, what's your 'go-to' meal?

I am - I wanted to become a chef at one stage. I do all the cooking at home but my go to isn’t a meal it's platters... I am a platter king!

What's your favourite destination in Australia to holiday in?

Tasmania’s pretty spectacular and the food there is second to none.

Who's your favourite comedian in the whole world?

Pretty sure I have to say my wife, who is also a comedian,  but also the late great Norm Macdonald.

What's one line of advice to young Aussie media/comedy starlets?

Be yourself. Don’t change yourself to fit the gig or you’ll be stuck with that the rest of your career.
