I love this work that finds me becoming an expert in something new with every contract. I've become a bit of a producer of all-sorts over the years as I've had the opportunity to take on a variety roles in the industry. From the production office to the story room to the field and spots in between, I like to think that I have earned the respect, trust and friendship of my peers. Some laughs along the way to be sure.

I've found a bit of a niche specialism in accessing and working within organizations like police, fire, ambulance and correction services. I’m also known for the ability to earn the trust and participation of people surrounding sensitive subject matter - victims of crime and emergency room and paramedical patients, for example. While my heart lies in documentary, on the other end of the spectrum, I’ve also worked in both casting and production on lifestyle, dating, competition and hidden camera prank shows. I well know the flexibility needed in the fluid world of television production. A 'can do' attitude and little teamwork goes a long way towards finding solutions on-the-fly in this amazing industry that allows creativity to shine alongside deadlines and budgets.
