Ornithology / Conservation :

My love for Wildlife grows with age as I realise the importance of our biodiversity and appreciate just how lucky we are in the Uk to have such amazing ecology around us. Photography has always been a way of showing this appreciation and I hope that it shows through all my work.

The flexible of the Creative Sound & Music Course at Newport really allowed me demonstrate my love for wildlife, having spent almost 2 years of the degree recording and studying bird song in an attempt to learn more about natural rhythm.
Nature plays a part in everything that I do.

I am a member of the RSPB, Gwent Wildlife Trust, on the committee for Gwent Ornithological Society and an active member to my local Biodiversity Partnership Meetings. I've also volunteered for Project Nestbox Wales, during which time I designed a full website, produced several wildlife documentaries including the sound, video and photography to educate my small community about the wildlife on their doorstep.

Music:

Over the years I've been able to play for Musical Theatre, Choirs, Orchestra's, Jazz Bands and Covers Bands, and have always brought the best I have to offer from a naturally adaptive style of playing. I studied Music Performance in Crosskeys College for 3 years and continued my studies at The University of South Wales, Newport on a credited course called Creative Sound & Music (CSM!). Through all this I've had lots of experience in all aspects of the Music industry from Composing, Recording, Producing, Sound Engineering, Stage Management, Documentary Management, Lighting Engineer, Events Manager and everything in between.
