What do you think is the most important thing to have happened in Melbourne during your time here? The progressive movement of the City west.

Which football team do you barrack for? Brisbane Lions.

What do you do to relax? Taking a long ride on my bike with friends.

What is your favourite restaurant in Melbourne? Enoteca Sileno, Carlton.

Describe Melbourne in one sentence. Not Europe, but not a bad place to live.
