CURRICULUM VITAE

I began my career in BBC radio, moved to Ealing Television Studios where I served my apprenticeship in Transfer Suite, then went on the road as a Boom Swinger. I progressed to Sound Recordist in 1982 and worked on the full range of BBC programmes from Documentaries to Drama, which became my speciality. After nearly thirty years with the Corporation, I resigned in 1994 to go freelance.
