A lifetime in broadcast media
I have taken on almost every role in television and radio in sports broadcast media. In a career spanning more than 25 years, I have worked as reporter, interviewer, presenter, commentator, podcaster, voice over artist and event host. The list of broadcasters I have worked for, is a who’s who in the world of television and radio, both in the UK and internationally.
As one of the lead commentators on Sky Sports Golf, I get to travel the world and talk sport, working for one of the world’s most prestigious broadcasters. I also have the privilege of working in other sports, namely football and basketball for IMG Media.
It all started in the basement of a record shop in Shepherd’s Bush, interviewing England striker Les Ferdinand for a demo tape that I sent to Capital Gold. It worked. They gave me my first break, reporting for the first time at football grounds and hosting with one of my heroes, Alan Mullery.
After working as their golf correspondent, TalkSPORT gave me the chance to host my own daily, drivetime radio show. I have also hosted radio programmes from the Open Championship, the World Snooker Championships, and Ryder Cups as well as at Wimbledon.
I have worked as a reporter and interviewer for ITN and Sky Sports News, with live in-vision reporting and producing and voicing packages. As a voice over artist, I have recorded adverts for tv and radio, as well as voicing numerous sports shows. The Round golf podcast, listened to by thousands, was created and hosted by me.
I have commentated from centre court at Wimbledon, at the Olympic Games, golf’s majors, on Premier League football, as well as a UEFA Champions League Final.
Those experiences I have made and the lessons I have learned have given me the foundation to flourish as both a broadcast coach and a media trainer. I have worked with sports organisations, corporations, CEOs and athletes.
