Some words

I started working as an assistant sound engineer on the Melbourne festival circuit in 1999. In 2001 I got a job as the in-house production runner for a commercial production company in Sydney. In 2003 I moved back to Melbourne and worked in locations on the tv drama series "The secret life of us" before moving into audio post production as a sound designer and dubbing mixer. I was lucky enough to work on award winning commercials for clients including Nike and Toyota and gained some experience as a sound recordist. In 2007 I moved to London and where I worked in a large recording studio complex as an engineer with artists including Robbie Williams, Shakira and Jeff Beck (Grammy nominated for Best Engineered Album 2011).

About me

In 2011 I went freelance focusing my efforts on location sound. Since then I have worked on hundreds of projects for all kinds of clients - commercials, short films, documentaries, corporate videos, hit records and even a live augmented reality broadcast. Ive recorded kids, dogs, celebrities, wannabes, footballers, fast cars, slow cars, electric cars and a cement adhesive bagging machine. While I focus on location sound now I still work as a sound designer and dubbing mixer. I have studios in West London and at home so im able to cover your audio production requirements from set to screen.
