I am a freelance production manager,  technical stage manager and lighting designer.

I have worked in professional theatre for about eighteen years in a wide range of genres from site specific to relights, from outdoors to nightclubs, from naturalistic to physical theatre, from fringe to children's theatre, from circus to theme parks. I believe these and others have given me a wide ranging understanding of what is required to put on a technically successful production.

I have recently spent a year as Technical and stage manager for the new 450 seat theate at The American School in London, productions included Leo Richardson's new play, "Prettiest Friend" . I am currently the Production manager at Highgate school, a flexible position that leaves me available for other work.

Prior to this I  production managed four productions for Theatre Peckham(Formerly NPV Arts at the Magic Eye Theatre); Late Night Movie, The House Fairy, The Kings of Temple Midden and Mrs Plug the Plumber. I also production managed and lit "A Bloodless Field" at the Old Operating Theatre museum in London. This was a site specific production for Metal and Bone productions in association with the Wellcome Trust and leading surgeons. I also stage managed and lit a new play for Epsilon Productions, "Fun Like Stalingrad" by Len Pentin. I also recently lit another new play, "Late Bus" at UEA, Norwich and Pinocchio the musical, as well as "And then they came for me-remembering Anne Frank" and "Grease". I am currently lighting this year's Southampton Passion an event to be seen by 10000 and also lighting "extremities", a five star show, transferring and nominated for the Best Play at the fringe awards. I have most recently lit The Southampton Passion, an event seen by over 10,000 on Good Friday over six stages outside the Guildhall and the best play award nominated Extremities for Epsilon productions.

I enjoy working in the theatre and always aim to take a collaborative approach to my work. I enjoy seeing the artistic and design visions coming together and relish whatever part I can play in that.

I am a technical all rounder having toured as both a stage manager and technician. I can operate shows from a wide range of desks and sources. I can light shows, relight shows and am happy working at height. I am a competent set builder and prop maker with a hardworking and energetic approach to my work.

I am happy to consider work in all types of theatre and events, including fringe. No profit share please.

I hold an honours degree in Drama from Liverpool John Moores University and also work as a drama tutor with children in the East London Area.

I am a member of both Equity and the Stage Management Association and have a full enhanced CRB check dated December 2009. I am a qualified first aider, having  successfully completed the 3 day First aid at work course in 2010.

I live in Stepney, East London with my beautiful wife Catherine and my fantastic three year old boy, Liam.
