About Me
From an early age I have been a performer. When I was 8 years old I performed for my family doing impressions and improv. At school I
was the lead in Joseph and the Amazing Technicoloured Dreamcoat as well as other plays and musicals.
When I left school I went into radio and joined my local hospital radio station where I eventually presented the Saturday and Sunday breakfast shows as well as many outside broadcasts. It was also where I met my future wife. We have now been togther for over 26 years.
I went to college to gain my degree and when the children came along my I was a successful business man. Through work we moved to Toronto Canada where in my spare time I worked as a film extra.
From X-Men to HBO movies my 18 months in Canada was filled with interesting times. I worked with Sean Connery on my very first day as an extra in Finding Forester.
