ABOUT ME
I have worked in Film, TV and Commercials since graduating from Newcastle University in 1992.
I shared my first TV job, working as a Production Runner, with my best friend. We also had to share the wage but we got our feet firmly stuck in the industry door and never looked back.
I worked in production for a while and then made the move across to locations. I have been lucky enough to work on some amazing films and TV dramas, both big and small, and more recently I have also been scouting for and managing TV commercials in the north of England. Companies for whom I have worked include Warner Bros, Universal, Marvel and Paramount and when working on commercials I have worked for Academy Films, Rattling Stick, Stink Films and Salt TV.
Yorkshire is where my heart lies. I grew up in Yorkshire, lived in London for quite a few years and then moved back to Yorkshire when I had family. I will go wherever the work takes me but I relish the opportunity to work in Yorkshire, whenever possible.
Yorkshire is one of the most beautiful parts of the UK and offers a myriad of locations from the picture perfect landscapes of the Yorkshire Dales and Yorkshire Moors to the cobbled back alleys of industrial northern towns and cities. People are still very receptive to filming in this part of the world and SCREEN YORKSHIRE actively promotes filming in the region.
I am passionate about photography and over the years have developed a keen eye for taking photographs. Please take a moment to look at my gallery
I am also proficient at flying a drone and own a DJI Mini 2 which I sometimes use when scouting. Click here to see some of my drone videos.
I speak fluent Spanish. It's not that much use in Yorkshire, I must admit, but if you need someone to scout in Spain or Latin America I would be quite happy to go.
