Hi, my name is Attilio and I am known to family and friends as 'Till'. I live in Redcliffe Qld with my wife, and wish I had a dollar for every time I am asked about Naples. Contrary to what my surname implies, I was born in Genoa, Italy.

I have been writing for over 15 years and enjoy writing about people's real life experiences. I write about the difficulties people encounter as they journey through life, and like to capture moments we can all relate to.

I've had a varied, and interesting, career. Starting work as an electrician in a steelworks and moving through three departments in the Australian Public Service; with a stint at Bunnings hardware store and as a finance salesman somewhere in between. Along the way, I acquired an Associate Diploma in Social Sciences, and several accreditations in the Learning and Development, Facilitation and Change Management fields.

My drug of choice is music - it's true, music soothes the savage beast. I will listen to anything, depending on the mood I'm in. I have discovered the joys of travel, and can't get enough of it. I also enjoy most sports, but am most passionate about the round ball game - soccer, the real football. I also spend considerable time reading and writing. As you might have deduced, I possess fine tuned time management skills (more grins).
