The tattoo over my left tit says FEARLESS.  That was aspirational at first.

​

Once upon a time I was painfully shy, the kind of kid who hovered at the edges, watching everything, wanting in—but not quite brave enough to jump.  But eventually, finally,  it clicked.  I know the exact moment it happened:  I wanted so much to be one of the actors in our school play but could only summon up the courage to be part of the props team - and when the play ended and everyone took a bow, I was the only one too shy to stand on the stage with all my stage pals to simply bow and just be there .  

 

After that moment it hit me.  if I wanted the life I was imagining, I’d have to stop waiting to feel ready and just do it all anyway.  If I couldn't kick Fear to the curb I'd make it my friend. 

​

So I started doing the scary stuff on purpose.  My huge imagination and love of storytelling made no sense if it was stuck in the corner, and I'd have no more of it.  From then on if something seemed overwhelming and tough, I said yes.  If it terrified the shit out of me, I doubled down.

​

My fears landed me in film school learning every angle of my craft, my terrors took me to art school, then gaining a BA in Communications, then theatre and acting and cinematography and bands and writing.  New countries, bigger rooms, louder ideas. Music videos, Commercials, Films.  Stages and sets, rehearsal rooms and edit suites. I learned by doing it all—seeing everything I could from every angle I could find, figuring out how to shape a space, guide a performance, turn a messy idea into something clear and smart and funny and sexy and alive.

Theatre taught me timing and the value of one's specific presence in the act of storytelling.  Acting taught me a deep empathy for others beyond one's own understanding.  Music gave me momentum and flow while Writing instilled in me the satisfying magic of creating sense out of chaos.

​

What started as effort, dragging my shy ass kicking and screaming through everything it was terrified of doing slowly became instinct—and that instinct took me places.

 

I’ve worked with insanely gifted musical stars and stellar actors, global brands as disparate as Barclays Bank and Aids Alliance (my spot for them was heralded as "The most controversial ad in the history of the UK") - and bold causes that weren’t afraid to push things a little.   Different worlds, same goal: make it human, make it bold, make it shine.

​

Now I work across all platforms:  film, commercials, music, and performance, even radio - but never letting go of the wonderful short-form work whose fast pace keeps ideas sharp and right on the money while leaving an open door for the kind of experimentation where a happy accident might just turn into an award-winning breakthrough.

 

I’m a hands-on, super-visual and character driven kinda guy who while keeping his eye on the ultimate outcome is also not interested in playing it safe and always on the lookout for that moment when something familiar suddenly turns electric.

​

The world is loud, weird, and within its continual cra-cra, full of possibility.  ​And you know what?  Eventually I realized being once-shy is a secret Superpower.   It means starting out in the back seat for enough of a time allows you to see things differently than everyone else, and that shit's pure Gold.  

 

The trick is then going one step further and making those things you see differently into pure magic for everyone else to appreciate.

​

So come with me and enjoy the fun of making things happen you love being a part of.

 

Yeah, I'm not shy anymore.  My left tit says it all.
