About me

I’ve worked as a producer, director, programme-maker and consultant, leading teams big and small in television broadcasting and production over many years and have worked on hundreds of live shows across a raft of genres.

I enjoy making television; I’ve been doing it in its many forms for many clients in Australia and around the world for a long time, amongst them Network Ten, the Seven Network, SBS and recently Star Television in Asia where I spent 18 months working for their Indonesia joint-venture concentrating on improving their sports production.

In that time we produced over 200 live football telecasts across the archipelago, as well as boxing, tennis and shoulder programming. I was so effective in the role, my contract was renewed twice.

I am particularly experienced in live network studio and OB production of sports such as rugby, rugby league, tennis, athletics, cycling, motor racing and football. As well, I have extensive experience in post-produced sports programming as well, specifically triathlon, athletics, beach volleyball, cycling, freestyle kayaking and marathons.

I have worked on two previous Olympiads: 1988 in Seoul, where I was a senior tape editor for Network Ten, and Sydney 2000, where I was a line producer for the Seven Network.
