He was born in Galston, Australia, and attended high school at Barker College, a selective independent school in Hornsby, a North Shore suburb of Sydney. He is a graduate of the University of Sydney (Bachelor of Arts in Media and Communications) and New York University (Masters of Journalism). He has worked as a producer for radio for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation in Sydney, in Beijing as a Foreign Expert at Chinese Radio International (one of the two state-owned national radio broadcasting networks in the People's Republic of China), as an on-air presenter on CRI's China Drive, and currently as Executive Producer of Triple J's national, daily current affairs program, Hack.
