Background: After gaining a BA (Hons) in Media, he literally knocked on every media office door in Soho, London, before achieving his glamorous break - as a runner for one day of filming. That single day turned into an eight-year apprenticeship. He was encouraged to work in all roles of television production - researching, producing, directing and finally editing - which became his true passion. He believes these foundations make him better placed to appreciate the key role each department plays, and to contribute to the key elements of the collaborative filmmaking process. An inherent drive to scrutinize every cut in the edit, and the skills he utilizes cutting drama, help to elevate his Documentary films and ensure the stories shine.
