He trained at Bretton Hall College and his theatre credits include stage production of Translations at The National Theatre, Inspector Morse in the UK tour of House of Ghosts, Dr Watson in To Kill a Canary at the Kenton Theatre, Henley), Nurse Ratched in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest at The English Theatre Frankfurt, Christopher Wren in The Mousetrap in the West End, John Haigh in his own award-winning play In Conversation with an Acid Bath Murderer and Gavin in another award-winner, My Gay Best Friend (which he co-wrote with Louise Jameson.

He has also worked for Big Finish Productions, as an actor, writer, director and composer, and was the producer of their Sapphire and Steel and The Tomorrow People ranges. A common style of both ranges is an increase in emotional content, the exploration of ongoing themes and, in the case of The Tomorrow People, long-running story arcs. As well as writing individual stories for both these ranges, he has contributed to the company’s Doctor Who range in February 2007 with The Blue Tooth, and later The Catalyst and Empathy Games, both starring Louise Jameson. In 2007, he contributed to the short-story collection Short Trips: Snapshots. Prior to his work for Big Finish, he was a regular writer and director for BBV. In 2008 he appeared in the BBV film Zygon: When Being You Just Isn't Enough.[1]

In 2020 he wrote and produced two ongoing audio podcasts dramas, The Pogley Wood Murders and Moira Moments.
