South African-born Australian journalist/blogger living in Melbourne, who is trying to live by the motto:

“Life’s short, you might as well have an opinion!”

All views expressed here are my own and hopefully offend the right people from time to time.

In all instances I endeavour to be accurate and fair. You’re welcome to republish any of my blogs, but  a link back to this site would be appreciated.

When I am not blogging away, I write for the The Australian Financial Review covering the property market.(Sorry, most of my stories are behind the pay wall).

Prior to that I wrote for www.propertyobserver.com.au. My work has also appeared on smartcompany.com.au, www.crikey.com.au, www.accountancyage.com and numerous other places in print and online. Just Google me, though you may also get Rabbi Larry Schlesinger of Macon, Georgia.

I also write on an adhoc freelance basis. If you’d like help with a writing project please contact me via email: freshlyworded@gmail.com.

Thanks for visiting, I hope you return!
