I got my start in commercials before landing a position on the TV soap, Pacific Drive in 1995.

Since then I have worked in nearly every genre, TV series, documentary, commercials, promotional and corporate, music video, reality, TV movies and film for cinema.

For at least the last 30 years, I have worked as either a gaffer or a best boy, including as a gaffer on critically acclaimed and AACTA award winning films such as Mystery Road and Limbo. I can manage anything from small to large lighting crews.
