About
I’m a seventh generation farm-boy turned creative producer. My background is in television, where I’ve spent my career developing bold unscripted format ideas.
I’m best known for my development work in risky Channel 4-style social experiments, but I’ve also worked across a much wider range of unscripted genres, from reality competitions to documentaries. I’m now starting to bring that experience into digital projects too.
I pride myself on coming up with timely format ideas that grab an audience’s attention, then building in the jeopardy, tension and consequence that keeps them watching.
If you’re working on a project with similar ambitions, give me a yell. I’d love to help!
