About me

My greatest qualities are persistence, enthusiasm and organisation; I can make a real positive difference to any project. I work hard to plan ahead and anticipate all eventualities, so all potential difficulties are prepared for. I believe nothing is impossible, and will always try, one way or another, to find a practical solution to any problem. I always work to deliver the highest standard product for the client.

My experience on Single Camera, Multi Camera and Live projects coupled with my advanced knowledge of camera technologies, due to my time spent as a senior technician at a facilities company, makes me ideally placed to operate on almost any set. I am capable of bridging many technical roles and often do so when required. I always endeavour to be helpful in any way I can and on hand to all members of the crew to make sure the shooting process goes as smoothly as possible.
