BIOGRAPHY:
I have been lucky enough to gain a broad spectrum of Camera training and experience right across the TV industry in the last 20 years. I’ve worked on some great shows with wonderful teams in amazing places all across the Globe. To me, the most important requirement for the job is Enthusiasm. Being a Team Player, outstanding technical abilities, the essential artistic flair, the necessary professional resilience; it is all grounded in Enthusiasm. I love the job. I bring that mindset with me to work every day.
