I'm a co-founder and CCO of Cangria, the world's first canned sangria, Canvino, bottle-quality wine in a can, in partnership with Chris Carrabba of Dashboard Confessional, Humacology, a medicinal cannabis company and Nudge Nudge Wink Wink an experiential cocktail bar in Noosa Heads, Queensland.

I co-founded a charity with Deborra-lee Jackman to aid in the orphan crisis. Since there are so many orphans, we decided to create our own country, Hopeland, and invite the world to become citizens of it so people would feel like Hopeland was a part of them. This pre-dated the Refugee Nation campaign by three years, and Trash Isles by five.

I had a clothing sponsor for 5 years, from 2011-2016.

I used to play professional tennis, and once took a set off a guy ranked 476th in the world. Before he crushed me in sets two and three.

I'm a dad to a little girl called Saturday Saunders.

I'm the closest living relative in the world to Captain James Cook.

After a few wines, I speak spectacular French.

I own more than 300 pairs of shoes, mostly vintage Bally costing me no more than $20 a pair. 

I believe everything you need in life already exists.
