Profile

My love for video began during Euro 96 when I spent hours editing highlights on VHS in my bedroom. While much has changed since then, my passion for video remains strong, and I have honed my skills as an experienced Executive Producer/Editor.

 

I have spearheaded the growth of  Stoke & Dagger a highly successful production company. I expanded our team from the initial 2 founders to a dedicated workforce of over 7 full-time employees plus various freelancers from different skillsets.
