Simon Edds

31 from Queensland, Australia
Model, Actor, Crew / Photographer
Really enjoy working on a variety of film and tv productions, but presenting to camera is something I feel most strongly for. I am a trained Lifesaver, holding the QLD Bronze Medallion and Cert.2 in Public Safety and Aquatic Rescue. I live a healthy, active and adventurous lifestyle, and am fit and lean because of this. I speak English, Norwegian and a little French. I love adventure sports, like cave diving, shark diving, rock climbing, kayaking, kite-surfing... Please, take a look at my online talent CV, and feel free to contact me if you require any additional information.
