He was born in Newcastle, New South Wales but raised in Singapore, Victoria and Western Australia.

During this time he began to publish short stories in Australia (anthologised in Pascoe Publishing's Best Fifty Stories Collection) and had a longer piece short-listed for the Vogel/Australian Literary Award.

He currently lives in Fremantle, Western Australia, where he teaches creative writing at Curtin University.
