I have enjoyed three career stages, the first working within the audio visual/media production industries from 1972 - 1986. During this time I co-authored a book, "Practical Photography", published by Longmans in 1985, which was the first text book very specifically targeted at teenagers and secondary school pupils studying photography. Mid career, I gained a Degree in Photographic Media Studies, with Special Commendation, from the Harrow College of Art & Design (now part of University of Westminster.)

The second stage was lecturing within creative media education 1986 - 2000, and latterly as a senior manager of creative education as Head of a large Creative Studies Faculty in a central London college, 2000-2005.

The third stage has taken place after my retiring early from full time paid employment in 2005. Since then I have undertaken assignments as a cinema journalist, a consultant and national accreditor to UK University media and film school courses, and a volunteer worker and archivist for a media organisation based at the world famous Pinewood Film Studios.
