My love for movies and TV reaches as far back as I can remember, and never has my passion dimmed. I was raised in the smallest city in England, Ripon, which is in the north near Leeds. My first short film was a satirical comedy, The Double Glazing Berserker, which was financed with a grant from my local council. It was screened at several festivals, commended at the Guernsey International short film festival and nominated for best low budget short at the Halloween Shorts Festival 2004.

After making a host of shorts I studied Film and Moving Media Image at college and then went on to complete a Film and Television Production degree at the University of Westminster where throughout my three years I retained a Gold Scholarship. I specialized in writing, and my script for a Lynx/Axe commercial went on to win best in brief, best casting and best overall at the Kodak Commercial Awards 09 held at Bafta.

With this success I went on to secure a job as Assistant Director of Media for Triangle Entertainment in Miami, where I read and reviewed a plethora of scripts as well as write and develop treatments. I left my position there because Triangle commissioned me to write an action/adventure about two famous Vikings called Erik The Red, which is on the brink of going into pre-production as a TV mini-series with an Oscar nominated actor and acclaimed director attached. It also has distribution set up both in the US and Europe.

In 2012 Triangle commissioned me to write an action/thriller called Snatched Away about a teenage girl who goes missing while vacationing in the Caribbean, and her ex-marine neighbour who sets out to find her. It’s recently been picked up by a major US distributor and attracted A list talent. In 2012 I also optioned a sitcom to Liverbird Productions in Liverpool called Bottom of the Ladder that concerns four delusional graduates trying to make it big in the recession. Through my company, Uncharted Productions, I’ve directed and produced a number of infomercials and promo videos, alongside personal projects.

I've worked on a variety of spec screenplays, including my elevated action/thriller, Evil's Bane, which made it to the quarter finals of the 2012 Page Awards, the semi-finals of the Creative World Awards, the semi-finals of the Fresh Voices Competition, 3rd place at The Writer’s Place Competition out of 1500 entries, 2nd place at the LA Screenplay Competition, and Slamdance gave it a rave review.

Currently I'm developing a WW2 movie with an English/Indian based production company; promoting my short film, One Toke Under The Line (winner of the audience choice award at the No Gloss Festival and premiered at the Friars Club Comedy Festival) that I starred in and directed; another sitcom has just been optioned; and my latest action adventure spec, RED GOD, was a finalist in the Scriptapalooza Competition. When not writing I’m out exploring London, playing squash or rocking out at a hair metal concert in my leopard skin trousers.
