Work History

I started at Central TV in Birmingham - a local station in the UK. After 3 years I moved to the BBC in London and got a trainee gig in Aunty Beeb's wonderful promo department (who the hell does training these days!) For my first ever promo I was sent to Southampton with a camera crew and my awful script, which involved a midwife squeezing melons at a supermarket.

For some reason the bosses decided that melon-squeezing promos were just what the BBC needed so I was made a full time producer. I directed a load of spots and discovered that was my passion. After coming the the US via BBC America, I worked for The Learning Channel, Stun Creative and now run a company with Monica. We shoot all sorts of medium to high-end stuff.
TV Creatives, eh? Who has more fun than us? Noone!
