I was born in a tiny village called Nocton in Lincolnshire. Back then it was an RAF Hospital where both my parents worked. My Father (a mackham) was a mental nurse my Mother (Irish) a maternity nurse. I am one of four, two older sisters and a younger brother. My first foray in to the world of acting came when I was about four years old when I played the role of Baby Bear in "Goldilocks And The Three Bears". This role won much critical acclaim (well with my Mum and Dad at least) Then came the fantastic 3 day run of "A Christmas Carol" and I played...... yep that's right "Tiny Tim" with the immortal line "God Bless Us Everyone"
I continued to play various roles throughout my school years my favourite role was "Cane" in the Genesis Roadshow, set after a nuclear war of all things. At the age of 17, I was selected from 5000 people to be a member of the National Youth Theatre by the late Michael Croft (founder) and spent that summer in London practising my chosen art.
At the age of 19, I spent a wonderful time playing the role of "Joseph" in Joseph and his Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. I have appeared in many shows over the years and in more recent years have been producing my own shows. I started a company called Mad About Productions in 2004 producing a show called Mad About The Musicals. This show is now in it's fifth year and has become one of the largest touring shows of it's kind. I also produce pantomime in Welwyn Garden City and Rochdale, this year it's "Beauty And The Beast" at Welwyn and "Jack And The Beanstalk" in Rochdale. This year see's me returning to acting again playing the role of Simple Simon (typecast) in our pantomime in Rochdale. It's GONNA BE FUN so make a date to come and see it, I'll post the dates soon
