Sherdale Farm & Vineyard is our family farm on the Mornington Peninsula where we produce a cool climate pinot noir, pinot rosé and day to day products like eggs and jams. 

After 10 years of lovingly cultivating our vineyard, our wine is developing with beautiful, light tones and a full bodied nose.

I'm a UX/UI obsessed Tech Product Creator who believes that resumes need to die, interviews need a shake up and the whole 'world or work' is going to completely change... like, now. That's why when I was 19 I wrote a business plan to influence some change... Since then:

* I've had 1 'north star' mission.
* Produced 5 web applications.
* Found 17 Investors who believe in the mission.
* Worked with people from 15 different countries.
* and built 3 online communities of 20k + 

Paddl is number 5. It's the culmination of 7 years of 'failure,' mistakes and lessons. I now work with a team of over 12 extremely talented people from 9 different countries. We still have the support of our 17 amazing Investors. And, we're building a Global community that's growing everyday.

We will succeed.

Napoleon is a spectacle-filled action epic that details the checkered rise and fall of the iconic French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte, played by Oscar®-winner Joaquin Phoenix. Against a stunning backdrop of large-scale filmmaking orchestrated by legendary director Ridley Scott, the film captures Bonaparte's relentless journey to power through the prism of his addictive, volatile relationship with his one true love, Josephine, showcasing his visionary military and political tactics against some of the most dynamic practical battle sequences ever filmed.

Directed by: Ridley Scott

With the goal of driving new player registrations and enquiry I drafted and executed the club's first digital strategy including: Building a club website omshockey.club, creating new club social accounts and setup / listing on Google (and others) for an integrated SEO strategy.

The club now receives regular enquiries from local players looking for a home. This process and others are managed through business operations tools I also setup such as Dropbox, Google Docs and more.
