Most of my flying these days is between markets. I co-founded FutureMvmt, a group that takes consumer hardware to market and runs it end to end: commerce, retail, logistics, service and technology, on our own platform, BlackMirror.

I was born in South Africa, moved to New Zealand at 15 and to Australia six years later. It's home now, though I travel as often as I can.
I qualified as a commercial pilot at 21, then added an advanced paragliding rating and a drone pilot licence so I could take my wings anywhere. I was filming from above before drones were everywhere, and that mix of fixed-wing, paraglider and drone is still how I see a place.
Give me a brief and I'll go the extra mile past it. That's been the job for every brand on this page.
