About Me

About Me

After leaving school, I attended drama classes and experienced my first on camera acting work when I was asked to feature in a corporate video. I managed to gain various roles but financial commitments meant I was unable to take up acting full time. In my mid twenties to keep the bills paid I started developing property & actually made a successful living from it. By the mid 2000's I was picking up small acting parts and hosted radio shows but also started buying land and property and was featured in property documentaries on channel 4. Today my circumstances mean I'm in a privileged position to work full-time as an actor.
