Hello I'm a former member of UK Defence and spent some time working in the Gas & Oil Exploration field off Scotland and the North East coast of England.

In 1991 I left Defence and joined the BBC as a programme Safety Adviser working on a number of blue ribbon TV programmes and documentaries.

In 1994 I joined the BBC News Security Team and worked on a number of investigations into attacks and killings of news reporters in Bosnia, Croatia, Russia and S.Africa.

In 1995 I was instrumental in developing and introducing the first ever Hostile Environments Training Course for BBC News & Current Affairs camera crews and journalists.

In 2003 I left my position as Head of BBC's International High Risk team and emigrated to Australia and set up a high risk consultancy company, ZeroRisk International. Sometime later I was commissioned by APTN to travel to Nablus to investigate the death of Nazeh Darwazeh a cameraman shot and killed by an Israeli soldier.
