I fell into the film and the TV industry in 1994 having worked in a variety of sectors including computing in England, construction in Australia, print journalism in Ireland, and crewing aboard private yachts in the Caribbean and Mediterranean.

My break into television came through sports broadcasting where after a number of years learning I oversaw complex productions of FIFA World Cups, UEFA European Championships and Rugby World Cups. I was lucky to be trained as a single camera director at the BBC during this time.

This led to roles as a director of programmes and operations, programmes editor and commissioning editor and the chance to work with great people on a slate of documentaries and films. During this period I co-created the comedy series 'Special1TV' (BBC) and 'Après Match' (RTE).

I was a producer on ‘Rough Rider – The Paul Kimmage Story’ and have filmed and directed 'The Humpback Whales of Cape Verde' and 'Ireland to Iceland - On The Trail of the Humpback Whale'.
Like many of the stories I am interested in, all have discovery at heart.

A qualified Ocean Yachtmaster, I am alas without a yacht.
