I always wanted to grow up as a cross between Tom from the goodlife, the shark guy from Jaws and David Attenbourgh..

I've skewd slighly from the plan, but I'm very happily working for the BBC Natural History Unit, on the next landmark series to Planet Earth, Frozen Planet, trying produce a range of ethical, inspirational and good clothing and trying to set up a suistainable mixed farm in Wales.

I have a PhD in Seal and penguin distribution and behaviour, and though I specalise in marine mammals and birds I am a nerdy naturalist at heart and so have a sound knowldege of most environments.

I have experience working in a range of television prgramming from wildlife researcher on landmark BBC series, self-shooting and director credits on BBC Countryfile and quick turn round day time programming, investigative/journalistic work.

I have experience with Panasonic HD, DV, HDV, DSR camera work as well as experience building and operating underwater pole cams, remote and infra-red camera rigs.
