About me
I have been involved with Theatre since the age of 6, having been bought up in a theatrical family in Brighton. I started work professionally as a Showman LX at the Theatre Royal, Brighton and then moved to London to work in the Fringe at the Albany Empire as Company Stage Manager/Chief Electrician as well as in the West End as Sound No.2 on Elvis the Musical.I am a member of BECTU, ABTT and STLD as well as a past member of Equity.
My skill set is wide covering Lighting, Sound, Stage Management, Set Design, Project Management across plays, musicals, TV and Exhibitions / Events both in resident theatres and on tour in UK and Europe as well as on TV.
I have City & Guilds Electronics Technician Certificates, as well as Training as a Television Technical Operator, covering camerawork, sound mixing and lighting.
I recently completed a BS7909 Location Power course run by BECTU as well as BBC TV Studio and Location Lighting Courses. I have a PASMA card and have extensive experience at loading and driving vehicles up to 7.5T.
In recent years I have worked as Lighting Designer for BBC TV on Children in Need for BBC West, as a Vision Mixer for the Showlight Conference in Czesky Krumlov, Lighting Designer for the Panasonic Broadcast stand at IBC in Amsterdam and many shows as Lighting Designer at the Dolman Theatre in Newport. In the exhibition sector I designed the 240sq M LED Shootout stand for PLASA Events / STLD in Earls Court in 2011.
I design events using SketchUp and various other graphics packages and I have been praised for my attention to detail in planning and execution of projects.
My personal favourites are working on Musicals and Live Events.
