I started working Professionally in the world of “Sound” when I started an Electronics Engineer apprenticeship specialising in Professional Audio and Video equipment, During this time I also played in bands and helped out as an Engineering /Tape Operator in local Recording Studios, Finishing my apprenticeship I went to work in TV studios and Production Facility Houses working as In House Engineer and also as the Staff Sound Recordist working on studio based productions and location documentary/factual broadcast programmes along with countless commercials and OB work. I went Freelance as a Location Sound Recordist in 1993.
I have worked as a Freelance Sound Recordist in all genres of Production Sound: Drama, Entertainment, Music, Factual, Current Affairs, Children’s, Observational Documentary and Commercials etc, Working both in the UK and abroad and often in inhospitable environments. In the last 12 years or so I have mostly worked in Documentary and Factual, I have never lost my passion for Production Sound or the challenges and Technical/Engineering Hurdles that can suddenly be presented. I pride myself on being always up to date with the latest technological advancements in our Industry and own a large inventory of the latest Production Sound Equipment.
I am based in Scotland but also have a base in London and work all over the UK and abroad.
