33. London based. Oxford born. Basketball obsessed. Former science teacher. Love a camera. Passionate about education. Believes in equity. Believes youth are the future (obviously, but you get what I mean) . An extrovert, perfectionist & stubborn (which my Mum still bangs on about). Believes film is the most powerful form of storytelling.  Have been told by multiple sources that I'm an alright guy.

​

Simple things are the best. I enjoy an iced coffee every morning regardless of the weather (and a crisp pint on the weekend).

​

My best or worst habit (depending on how you know me) is creating ridiculously big projects that give me sleepless nights, but are energising, worthwhile and potentially game-changing. My biggest challenge is trying to change the world by giving every child opportunities. In 2020 I launched Empathy Week which has reached 1.8 million students in over 56 countries so far (the humble brag usually seen on a Wednesday morning LinkedIn post).

Empathy Studios was launched out of a need to house our research, film studios, ideas, projects and work. We are an education and creative studio that focuses on building the skill of empathy through the power of film... and I'm pretty chuffed about it! 

​

All in all - I'm your normal guy who is a people person, enjoying the human element of work and on a big mission to use the power of film, imagery and storytelling to help the world develop the skill of empathy. After all, in order to change the world we first need to understand the people that are in it.

 

I'm a family first guy, an entrepreneur, a filmmaker, a director, a speaker and always a teacher - if you're trying to take on the world for good, me and my wonderful team can help and if we're not quite right for you we will know people that will be! Big ideas deserve to be seen, heard and told as stories.

 

I pride myself on my emotional intelligence, my ability to form trust and rapport quickly with another.

 

This...this is what I believe sets me apart and enables me to capture great stories and tell them through a deeply human lens.

​

We all have a story to tell. The world has a story to tell. My life's mission is to increase empathy and  connection for all humanity and do so by telling BEAUTIFUL. HUMAN. POWERFUL. STORIES. through the medium of film.
