No studio equipment at present. I am 48 and prides myself that I am consistently asked for by clients because of my professional yet relaxed attitude. I am warm,friendly and very easy to work with and direct. I also works regularly as an actor in the corporate field helping develop customer service skills with a number of bluechip companies. Prior to becoming a professional actor I worked in industrial relations and telecoms which honed my customer service skills! This was followed by a period of extensive travelling which broadens your horizons and helps to put things into perspective. It certainly gave me a taste for travel which I still have and I recently returned from a fascinating seven months working in Japan.
