About me

A self-shooting Producer/Director; I've discovered Bigfoot in America and driven through 25ft concrete walls (Top Gear, BBC), toured Britain by bike with Larry and George Lamb (C5) as well as film some of the largest demolitions in the UK (Scrap Kings, Discovery+) and uncover sexual practices hidden behind people's front doors (Adults Only!, C5). I've worked across Factual, Obs- Doc, News and Fact-Ent genres, always looking to push myself and give myself the knowledge to adapt to a wide range of production roles and editorial challenges.
