I am an experienced television maker who is passionate about creating great telly.
I love meeting interesting people, thinking on my feet, traveling on adventures, and putting together entertaining stories that make people smile, laugh, think and feel.
My specialty is youth & teenage targeted television. Additionally my diverse production skills allow me to work across many genres of production. This has included reality, drama, sports, comedy, educational, cultural, music, events, cooking, travel and even political programming!
But wait... theres more... (no steak knives sorry) as well as directing I am also a confident and experienced writer and small camera operator. I own and operate a HDV Z7 camera (the new Z1) and have over 8 years practice as a director shooter.
Having said this, I have maintained my role directing crews (small and large) and other camera operators. On the flip side, I am happy to take off the directors hat and work with other directors purely as a camera operator. Basically I enjoy working in a good team what ever the role.
Ive been told Im a "versatile asset to any production" which I think is a way of saying Im a dedicated, resourceful and creative television maker who is here to help you make the best TV possible.
So how can I help you?
