About me

People often ask me what my favourite project was. “Was it the time I recorded from the back of a chinook helicopter, or on a super yacht in Monaco; or when I was capturing the sound of an Icelandic ice cave, or recording an interview at the top of a volcano?” In truth there is only one answer to this question. I simply love my job and enjoy the spontaneity of never knowing what the next adventure will be. Who will I meet and where on earth will I find myself? Sound is like that. You are part of a team, trying your best to deliver excellence. To seamlessly support that most unique and precious thing, the performance. All while problem solving and working with the crew to overcome a multitude of obstacles often in new and challenging environments.
