Macca is a young entrepreneur based on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia.

At the age of 14, he started selling products he imported from suppliers in China, on eBay using a method called "Drop-shipping" which led him to start his first company at the age of 15.

In 2015, Macca was runner up in Sunshine Coast Generation Innovation Challenge and also pitched at Start-up Weekend Sunshine Coast 2016 with an idea for a virtual reality (VR) game targeted at STEM (STEAM) skills.

His goal and passion is to inspire young people to engage in entrepreneurship and innovation at a early age. He loves new technology and is always using new innovative products.
