I was Australia's first professional VJ (Aug 1996) and have subsequently worked in 30 countries for many major world broadcasters. My work, filmed/written/edited/presented has been bought by many of the world's major broadcasters, including CNN (Inside Europe & Africa); BBC World, APTN, TV Globo, Asahi, TVNZ, Dubai TV, SABC, all Australian broadcasters and many more. I make short-form and long-form films, and have been recognised in Australian awards for my filming (as well as my journalism, of course). I was most recently a Senior Journalist for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation - as a conventional reporter, but also as a VJ in remote locations. I'm now freelancing, and available to travel. I specialise in making conventional-looking TV, and with dealing with unwilling and often foreign talent in a respectful and empathetic manner. I shoot on a Sony XD Camera with full kit. I also edit long and short-form video on various software, though mainly FCP. My long-form shooting and editing has been broadcast internationally on various established broadcasters. I have now also branched-out into social media and corporate video storytelling.

I'm a videographer, reporter, producer, editor, adventurer and story teller with more than 15 years of media experience. I'm at my best behind the lens of a camera in places where stories are deeply human and complex. I've never picked easy assignments, reporting from countries including Cuba, India, Tanzania and outback Australia. Some say I have a knack for getting to the heart of people's stories. I've shot, produced and edited short documentaries, worked in major newsrooms in front and behind the lens, and led a team of newspaper reporters as they transitioned to making web videos. By far the most interesting stories for me are those that would not have been captured had there not been the right eyes to see it.
