I have over 20 years experience in the film and television industry.
My career began at a local production / facilities company, where I started dubbing videos of various
formats. At the time of leaving I had a broad amount of knowledge shooting programmes for many areas
including corporate videos, local TVCs and multi camera events. I also gained experience operating a Rank
Cintel telecine chain, transferring 16 and 35mm film to video.
After a brief stint at a corporate video production company, I turned freelance to further my knowledge and
opportunities, particularly with film.
Since then I have worked on many feature films, TV series, television commercials, documentaries and
corporate videos. I have been fortunate enough to work around Western Australia, interstate and overseas
on a number of projects.
Given my breadth of experience I have been exposed to a vast number of cameras and formats. These
include the most recent high definition Arri Alexa and Red Epic cameras.
After the number of years I have worked in this industry I still enjoy the variety and challenges each job
brings. I am a loyal and hard working person, and put every effort into the success of each project.
I am a committee member with the WA branch of the ACS.
