Brief Summary
I specialise in video communication and photography.
Both my parents were successful in the film industry, their no nonsense adventurous approach to life ensured life was never boring but was always based on firm foundations.
Initially taking a maths degree I followed through working within the UK Ministry of Defence. After a few years the lure of the film industry at Shepperton Studios proved impossible to ignore and I worked my way up through the art departments to art direction. I have been incredibly fortunate working with extremely gifted people on top of their games, each of whom enhanced my modus operandi. During the mid 80's I moved into film production. Although successful at raising finance and producing a feature; going through the strife of raising money then watching everyone else have fun spending it, caused me to step back reassessing what I really wanted to do.
In between all this sailing became serious to a point of an Olympic 470 campaign in 1980 – the year of the West's boycott. I continue to help sailors and hold a Yachting New Zealand Race Coach qualification whilst utilising crossovers in performance management from sport to business.
During the 1990's I married a New Zealander, leaving London for New Zealand and becoming a proud father.
A major highlight of my career was designing 6 operas for the internationally renowned director Bernd Benthaak. Stints as guest tutor for Toi Whakaari, the premiere New Zealand drama school, sent me into independent education, discovering learning works two ways.
Over the years I've noticed key paradigms don't change, utilization does. Every company, organisation and person is now an independent multimedia entity with a global presence.
Visual mediums remain the most effective means of communicating, transcending language, culture and able to connect emotionally on fundamental levels.
