Personal Information
I was born in the town of Mt Gambier in South Australia. It is famous for the Blue Lake which supplies the town water in an extinct volcano. Apart from that, the rest of my life was pretty normal - a small Australian country town raised within an Italian subculture. I now live on Brisbane in the sunny state of Queensland in Australia.
Currently, I enjoy a range of stuff:
  • Raising my boy Jerson
  • Looking after my Cats
  • Landscaping and Gardening
  • Football (the world game) - Azzurri, Socceroos, Man Utd, Inter Milan, Qld Roar
I was fascinated by Marilyn Monroe as a young adult. As I am now older, perhaps wiser, I enjoy Italian Pop artists (eg Laura Pausini and Giorgia) and my old 80’s pop songs.
Professional Information
I am an independent consultant involved in research and development of new innovative Semantic Web Science technologies and strategies.
