Grew up in Hebburn, South Tyneside,
Where I went to school.
The first job in my career was in a
Photographic Lab, Tynecolour,
processing and printing.
Then Turners in Pink Lane, Newcastle.
Joined Tyne Tees TV in 1983.
Went freelance in 1991

The early part of my career was in photography, firstly as a darkroom technician, then as a photographer. I often still get requests from some of the people who in the past  have been shot by me.

As for the rest of my life I enjoy fitness, run a bit, football, and a bit of Rock n Roll.
