About me

I am a sound editor, dubbing mixer and recordist with 11 years experience. I moved to London in 1997 from Dublin to train in post production and location audio. I began working in 2000 and have been lucky enough to tracklay, mix and record across a wide range of formats. I have just finished a two year contract on 'Thomas the Tank engine' as the main sound designer and sound effects editor. In november I completed the last of its 80 animated episodes and 3 features for the Vue Cinema chain.
