What’s your claim to fame?

Surely everybody has at least one minor claim to fame.

Except me, evidently…

I was on Ridgey Didge when I was a kid.  LOL

Haha that’s about it.

Was on 7news for spring racing for people having a fun time and not to many drunks. They showed my riding my mate like a horse and screaming wildly and then him tripping while I was still on his back, face planting right in front of the camera then quickly jumping back on and riding off into the distance
Edit:‘btw we were obviously wasted haha

I was in a TV ad for one of the Go Karting places in Canberra with Neal Bates.

I was also on channel 10 broadcast of the V8 Supercars Queensland raceway round in 2001, I was standing with Craig Lowndes next to his car on the start grid!

I did a modelling shoot for Big W when I was a kid. They had life-sized posters of me in all their stores around Australia.

Unfortunately, my mum managed to get one of the posters when they were pulled down, and it’s hanging in the family home to this day.
