About Me
My name is “Greg”, and I am from the most beautiful city in Australia, the Gold Coast.
One of the things I hold closest to my heart is music and I sincerely believe it is one of the most important things in the world, which is why you will almost always find me listening to music using my AfterShokz Trekz Air bone-conducting headphones (fellow Aussies can buy AfterShokz products here)… My passion for music extends much further than just listening though – I also sort-of play harmonica and I would like to learn to play violin or guitar at some point in the future (particular the former, which I already own), but we’ll see what happens.
Another big love of mine is pretty much everything Disney… The films, the music, the characters, the games, the theme parks and everything in between. In my opinion, Disney is not only the very best entertainment company in the world by a huge margin, but it also represents the very best the world has to offer and we should all strive to live our lives to a similar standard.
Gaming is a big hobby in my household and for me personally, that usually means spending large amounts of time on the PlayStation Network. I do occasionally play games on computer, but my Sony PlayStation 4 Pro is where my heart is, in part because I have my PlayStation VR virtual reality headset and also in part because my favorite game (“The Last of Us”) is available on the console.
When I am not working or gaming, I am running; not as much as I would like to because of time constraints and injuries from my former employment, but I give it my best shot. My so-called “bucket list” has the Gold Coast Marathon and the Walt Disney World Marathon pretty close to the top, so I would love to compete in these someday – but I will need to take my time and see how my injuries hold up (42KM is a pretty big run, even without injuries!)… As an optimist though, I have not given up just yet.
For employment, I am currently a Customer Service Attendant at Timezone’s flagship family entertainment center, “Funtasia” in Surfer Paradise. I am not out there “changing the world” in some meaningful way as I have done in the past, but I do get to meet a lot of interesting people from around the world and I am a people person, so I enjoy what I do… Timezone are planning to spend some pretty big money on expansion over the next couple of years (including several million dollars on “Funtasia”!), so it should be interesting to see what happens down the track.
Anyway, that’s me.
