About Me

Following a career in the army and private security sector, I have made a vocational leap of faith into the creative arts - primarily as a writer, but I want to expand my experience throughout the entire medium. I am diligent, articulate and creative, and my maturity and life experience will enhance my skills, and may also influence fellow performers.

General Experience

Being of a mature persuasion I have a great deal of life experience. This is further enhanced by my military career (including operational tours in Northern Ireland, Bosnia and Afghanistan), and time spent as an investigator for law enforcement and the private sector.

Qualifications & Training

All of my vocational qualifications and training have been in tune with my career background; however, I also possess HGV Class 1 (C+E) and motorcycle licences.

Other Information

Relevant Skills

Although I am open to all offers within the performing arts industry, I am primarily interested in working as an extra. I beleive that my age, experience and appearance are suitable skills in themselves for this type of role. I aim to enhance my skills as a performer as I gain experience (and necessary training) as a TV and film extra.

Interests & Hobbies

Most of my spare time is spent with my family. I have two young sons who keep me fit and mentally youthful. Meanwhile, I enjoy writing (in 2017 I will be self-publishing a book of fictional short stories inspired by my time on a covert ops unit), reading, walking my dog and outdoor pursuits (mainly hill walking and skiing). I am also a volunteer at a homeless drop-in centre in Birmingham.

Miscellaneous Information

I have an extensive network of law enforcement, military and private security professionals from whom I can draw advice and support. I also own or have access to military and police clothing and equipment.
