- I have setup more than 30 international TV shoots, from militia-controlled river systems in Burma, to the protected waters of the Sea of Cortez, and am confident managing multi-camera crews in remote locations for extended periods. 

- I have been fortunate enough to field direct in some of the most remote places on the planet. Including orchestrating and filming the worlds first underwater ultrasound of a pregnant Whale shark in the Sea of Cortez for National Geographic - a seriously complex UW scuba shoot to direct.

- I hold both a British & NZ passport, so can freely work both in the UK and Asia-Pacific region depending on production/ shoot requirements.
