Having started out studying mechanical engineering and dreaming of joining the RAF, I would never have thought my passion for film existed if it were not for chance.​Looking back, my family have been involved in photography since the second world war. I have a Deep rooted background in photography and film starting with a family run business in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe. Despite this background I never showed an interest in being a photographer, yet I loved running about with a video camera, shooting my own version of Star Wars as a kid.​It was only in 2010 that chance and circumstance led me to film. It began with editing film, which then quickly progressed to being behind the camera. After traveling most of Africa filming wildlife I made the move to weddings and corporate projects. Since then I have simply never looked back, and am always striving for new ways to innovate and stay creative through the lens.
