About me

I started out as a musician working the summer season shows on the North Yorkshire coast, this experience gave me an interest in the technical and production side of the industry.
I have pursued a career predominately in sound, but I have also worked within lighting, video, staging, special effects and set building departments.
Over recent years I have undertaken the role of Tour Manager for amongst others Brian Conley, a position that has incorporated liaising with the technical departments, marketing and house managements of the venues we are scheduled to visit.
This in turn has led to me pursuing positions as Company Stage Manager and I have been fortunate to work for both Qdos Entertainments and Michael Harrison Productions on many occasions.
As well as theatre and light entertainment I have vast experience working in the corporate and conferencing environment for companies including Next PLC and Siemens
I am a highly motivated individual, skilled in problem solving within a team or whilst working alone.
For the last six years I have been part of a team bringing UK Pantomimes to Australia.
