 Special Skills 

I am a former detective (Australian Federal Police), spending time in drug response, but later specialising as a forensic videographer. So, I know my way around police procedure, firearms, handcuffs, dialogue and of course, crime scenes and morgues.

​

I have a long background as a field first aid volunteer with St John Ambulance (nearly two decades) and have taught and practiced traumatic casualty simulation.

​

Much of my life has been behind cameras having started my career as a sound recordist and assistant cameraman at ATN seven, Sydney. 

​

I'm also competent in a range of accents particularly London, upper RP British, Irish, Russian,  standard American. Currently working on developing Scottish, Welsh, South African, German and a range of regional US dialects.
