- About Me:
- I'm an actor, writer and director. I produce independent film and fringe theatre when I can get the money together, usually working from my own scripts. I've been to the San Francisco Fringe Festival 5 times, winning a Best of Fringe award in 2006. My stage adaptation of Conrad's Heart of Darkness was described by the treasurer of the Conrad Society as "The yardstick by which we judge all adaptations of Conrad". My first feature Bloodmyth was made on a budget of less than £3000. During the course of shooting and postproduction I've done most of the jobs involved in making a movie.

As an actor I've worked in theatre and British indie movies. The latest "Ten Dead Men" will premiere in the action movie festival forming part of the SENI martial arts show at London's Excel centre in April.

I trained in both acting and directing at university and I'm a fully qualified drama teacher.
I love hiking, cycling, swimming and I've studied European historical martial arts including 18th C Mendoza style bareknuckle boxing, 14th C longsword and 13th C sword and buckler.

- My Quote:
- "...A man that is born falls into a dream like a man who falls in to the sea. If he tries to climb out as inexperienced people do he drowns - nicht wahr?...No! I tell you the way is to the destructive element submit yourself and with the exertions of your hands and feet in the water make the deep, deep sea keep you up. So, if you ask me - how to be?...
...I will tell you. For that too there is only one way...
...To follow the dream, and again to follow the dream - and so - ewig - usque ad finem." Joseph Conrad 'Lord Jim'
