I was born in Heywood South-West of Victoria, and I have lived in Melbourne for most of my adult life whilst playing in the AFL for the Essendon Bombers and managing my Indigenous record label Payback Records. I currently live back in Heywood on Gunditjmara country and have been running my own event management business called Indigenous Sports Network. I manage the Ngarra Jarra Noun Healing Ceremony and the National Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Sports Awards.
