After studying film, I worked on independent feature films as Sound mixer. Am now looking to work with bigger crews as a Boom Operator.

I previously worked in the hospital as a Registered nurse for 10 years.

I began my career in the film industry in 1995 as a boom swinger, quickly establishing a strong foundation in production sound.

In 1999, I was a member of the sound team nominated for the Academy Award for Best Sound for The Thin Red Line.

Since then, I have worked across a wide range of major international film productions, including Star Wars: Episode II and Episode III, Mission: Impossible II, Superman Returns, Scooby-Doo, and The Chronicles of Narnia.

From around 2013, I transitioned into sound recording, working on television series such as Sea Patrol and The Straits. My recent sound recording credits include Mortal Kombat 2, Zeus Supernova, and Subversion.

I operate with an extensive equipment inventory, featuring the latest professional sound recording technology as well as PA systems, allowing me to deliver high-quality audio solutions across film, television, and large-scale productions.

I love audio. I have over 15 years experience recoding audio for film and television and have a passion and commitment to achieving the best possible results in any given production using the highest quality state of the art equipment.

I can work seamlessly with all departments on set to create a positive and respectful workplace where the needs of the production are the focus while still preserving the performance with audio clarity and quality. I have accommodation in both QLD and NSW and can work anywhere.

I am old enough to know my craft deeply and communicate professionally and young enough to be excited, passionate, agile and hungry to make the best sound recordings film has ever heard.
