Childhood:

Grew up in Newcastle upon Tyne during the 1980s and 1990s. Attended drama training from the age of 4 years old over forty years ago in the form of private tuition and youth theatre. Training carried on with the same tutors for twenty years. Schooling consisted of mainstream and a pupil referal unit due to behaviour problems and mental health issues. Drama and acting more or less kept me 'sane', busy and occupied. 

Teenage Years / Twenties:

Trained as a professional actor and director with Tyneside Unity Theatre for three years under the guidance of William Ormond from London Theatre Workshop/Joan Littlewood. Calmed down a lot in behaviour and mental illness through regular sessions with psychologists. Opened a drama training group for young and old performers to concentrate on new writing and producing, where we produced two productions per year - one short film and one full length stage play. The group slowly merged into the shape of an actors agency with myself at the helm.

Thirties and Forties:

Enjoying working as an agent, representing actors, writers, fine artists..allsorts. Also enjoying working through personal management, career growth for all artists under non-exclusive contract to me. Training a few people too as agents and managers.
