Training and Skills




Formal Training:
  1. Trained at BBC
Other Skills:
Over the last 15 years I have enjoyed a varied career working for the majority of UK broadcasters together with more recently many overseas broadcasters. I have travelled widely on a number of series’ and have just returned from a 14-month project in the USA for Discovery USA following the animal cruelty investigators of Texas. I am experienced in all tape formats having used everything from Digi Beta to DVC Pro in addition to recording separate sound using DAT. Many of the productions I have worked on have required the recording of live music and so I have good experience in stereo recording on location. I also have studio experience and have been responsible for some live OB’s and studio programmes.In addition I am also an experienced motorcyclist and whilst I do own a car most of my location equipment can be carried on my GPS equipped motorcycle enabling me to be very flexible for location shoots, especially in London.
{Typical travel times are: Central London 1 hr, Norwich 1hr 15 mins}
I also have a CURRENT I VISA (for USA) and full clean driving and motorcycle licence.
