I am the senior video producer for Europe Middle East and Africa (EMEA) at Oracle Corporation where I write, produce, direct and edit over 100 webcasts, podcasts, customer quotes and video case studies a year.

I originally trained as an engineer, taking an HNC in micro electronics as part of an apprenticeship at Analogue Devises but left engineering in 1991 to become station controller and 'Hold Jockey' for WPHJ one of the first corporate radio stations in the UK which provided music and information to customers of WordPerfect. Presenting became something of a passion for me during the 1990s and I produced and presented shows on Thorp Park Radio, Kingston FM, Radio Cracker and Hospital Radio Wey.

In 1996 I joined Oracle initially as Macintosh Support Specialist before transferring to marketing where I have held the roles of Customer Visit Center AV Manager, UK Webmaster and UK Knowledge Management Lead before taking over EMEA video production and the management of the EMEA television studio in 2001.

In my leisure time I enjoy photography, golf, cycling, playing drums, DIY, and film making, I recently became program secretary for Reading Film and Video Makers and am busy planning this seasons practical classes.
