I'm willing to have a go at just about anything.

My Training

I have a BSC and MSC in Computer Science. I own my own production company Runaway Products Ltd and also own a small local TV station, MADTV12, in Sugarbush Vermont. Because of my knowledge in sport I was originally asked by IMG/TWI to voice a world championship triathlon from Nice, France. Since then I have voiced most European sports but did call live Nascar on one occasion.

Additional Skills

I am multi talented in the TV production business: I am a camera man, editor, producer, director and commentator. Recently I was the Live producer of four of bobsleigh from Lake Placid for Fox/Speed.

Early in my career I did undertake some radio work but mainly concentrated on television.
