About me

I joined the work force at the age of 15.

I am a punctual, honest, hardworking and reliable worker willing to try different fields of work as they arise.

I am a practical learner and enjoy learning while on the job.

I have been interested in media and videoing since I bought my first camera when we had our first son in the early 1990’s. Over the years I have made short movie clips, church news and a documentary.

I also film and produced dvds of school musicals in the Riverland SA for a few years as a hobby.

My hobby and passion for filmmaking has now become a part of my life and profession, by studying a Bachelor of Film at SAE Byron Bay NSW

For fun I enjoy watching movies and listening to music with my family, and motorbike riding with my wife and friends.
