About Me

I'm a camera operator and multi-skilled operator (MSO) working across sports, live events, and studio production.

I've worked with BBC, Sky Sports, ITV, and Warner Bros Discovery on everything from Premier League football and international cricket to live music events and studio shows.

Whether it's operating cameras as a camera man, running replays, technical directing, or managing the technical side of productions, I'm always focused on getting the job done right.
