About me
I always wanted to travel and see the world, so i started my career as a Maritime Officer (a combination of being trained as a nautical engineer / 1st (chief) Mate). After sailing the seven seas, i realised i missed being part of society, living on a ship with only 10 other people for months in a row.Back ashore, I started working for large international hotels until I was called for national service in the military. I served as an Air Force Medic in The Netherlands, Germany and Italy before i was able to return to the Hotel Industry. From Hotels to Catering to Festivals to Events to Theatre, I finally landed in the Film & Tv industry.
Starting out as a Location Scout/Manager i was soon given the opportunity to work as a Production Manager on Commercials and Pop Promo's.
I Have been working in this Industry since 1993, and in 2001 I finally found my calling in Feature Films. I realised that The Netherlands where to small for my ambitions, so i followed jobs to France, America and West Africa to learn as much as i could before finally 'coming home' in the UK
In the UK, i have been working within the camera & lighting department since 2006. I love my job as a Gaffer, being able to create a mood, an atmosphere and above all, make people and things look pretty.
