📝 Bio
Hi, I'm Dean. I was born in Sydney, so I sound like Crocodile Dundee. Ooh! What about 'Crocodile Dundean?!' Sorry! I'm a sucker for wordplay. Anywho, now for the serious stuff! I've worked at shops like Ogilvy, WT and VML. Ok! More silly please! I once got fired from Frankie's Pizza for being the slowest 'glassy' ever!
