I started my career in the UK in 1993 as an editor and was lead editor on two of the most successful TV shows in UK history – The X-Factor and Britain’s Got Talent.  In 2005, I was approached by Simon Cowell to work full-time at his production company, SYCO Television.

In 2006, I was sent by Simon, to Los Angeles, to produce and edit on America’s Got Talent and in 2012 I was tasked with creating a new look for the show. That same year I directed my first cold open/promo, and for the next 2 years I directed opens, packages, and scripted segments for the taped and live shows.

In 2012, I started my own production company “Sublime To The Ridiculous Productions” and in 2014, became Creative Director at UTAS/NBCUniversal.

Whilst in that role I helped create, segment direct, and Co-Executive Produce a number of hit NBC shows including…

World of Dance, The Titan Games, Making It, Better Late Than Never, Best Time Ever with Neil Patrick Harris and I can Do That. 

In 2020, I entered the freelance market and have gone on to direct a number of projects for various studios and networks – including American Idol and Wipeout – and in 2021, my first ‘Series Director’ credit for HBOMAX ’12 Dates of Christmas’ + two scripted horror movie shorts for Heidi Klum ‘Heidi Does Halloween’ and ‘Heidi Does Halloween II: Klum’s Day’ that debuted on Instagram and have both been viewed over 6 million times.

Over the course of my career, I have had the opportunity to direct a host of A-list talent which include… 

Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, Jennifer Lopez, Katy Perry, John Cena, Simon Cowell, Howard Stern, Amy Poehler, Nick Offerman, Henry Winkler, Nick Cannon, Howie Mandel, Nicole Byer, Neil Patrick Harris, Heidi Klum, Snoop Dogg, Mel B, Sharon Osbourne, Luke Bryan, Ne-Yo, Derek Hough, Joe Jonas, Marlon Wayans, and Nicole Scherzinger.

I am also a standing member of the Directors Guild of America.
