My full time gig is sports marketing and communications, having completed a Bachelor of Sports Management degree back when Pearl Jam was worth listening to. Previously I have worked in fairly broad sport development roles at a more grassroots level. I also moonlight as a freelance writer, mostly published by Inside Sport magazine. As for my footy credentials, a season with Hawthorn's U17s, back when Dermie was strutting the strut, probably overstated my ability. Meanwhile, since the age of five I've been unable to shake an obsessive Collingwood disorder.
