After working on a feature film ‘The Reeds’ which was released nationwide in the UK, I was picked up by the leading post production agency in London, IPC, my career grew from strength to strength..

 

As well as working on the most popular programs in the UK including ‘Big Brother’, ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ and ‘Comic Relief’ as a lead/finishing editor on AVID SYMPHONY.

 

I also worked on very successful documentaries such as BBC’s ‘Leonardo and his Dream Machines’, ‘Panorama’, ‘Steven Spielberg: A Man and His Movies’, BBC’s ‘Wildest Dreams’ and a two-part documentary, amongst many documentaries for A&E.

 

My international career began in Belfast, Northern Ireland on a Channel 4 Comedy ‘Comedy Lab’, and then went on to Cardiff, Wales where I worked as a Lead Editor on a Sean Connery documentary.

 

Additionally, I landed work in the Middle East, specifically in Iraq and UAE where I worked for three years on human rights films.

 

I have traveled extensively throughout the region to Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, UAE, Bahrain, Oman and Qatar, over a three year period, filming, producing and editing human rights documentaries in the region.

This work led me to be hired by the United Nations in Kenya, Africa,.

 

 

Whilst in Kenya, I worked on several Documentaries sponsored by the African Union to raise awareness of the plight of Somalia and its people.

After that project was completed I moved my young family from the UK to Chile, where I lived and worked for two years on various promos and

trailers.

 

At the end of those two years I was sponsored by the leading post agency in New York City, Pipeline Entertainment  to  live and work in the US on an ‘Outstanding Alien’ O1 Visa. I worked in Manhattan predominantly.

 

Whilst living in NYC for five years, I worked on numerous projects for Pipeline for companies such as Zodiac, National Geo, Discovery, Leftfield and Optomen.

 

I moved to Los Angeles for 4 years and have worked for Entertainment One, Ample, Ugly Brother and Diamond Docs on shows such as Ancient Aliens, My 600 Lb Life and The Curse of Oak Island and have been working predominantly on Discovery ID and Feature Film Documentaries for Netflix, working remotely and at various production companies.

After moving back to New York, I worked on a few shows for Sharp Entertainment, such as 90 Days Fiance, Love Off The Grid, Inmate to Roommate. More recently, I was Lead Editor for Revelations for a History Channel show called Prison Chronicles and Mystery at Blind Frog Ranch for Anomaly Entertainment.
