Journalist/TV Producer

Hong Kong

I‘ve matched wits with Madonna in three separate cities, stood toe to toe with Bono on the 50 yardline in New York, traded quips with Sting in New Delhi, spoke about great ships with Leonardo DiCaprio in Hawaii and swapped tales at the bottom of a swimming pool in Hong Kong with the Foo Fighters. They‘re just a few of the varied stories I’ve worked on as a lifestyle journalist and TV producer. I’ve also filmed, interviewed and written about authors, heads of state, CEOs, designers, jockeys, wildlife conservationists, tech gurus, doctors and more across five continents. Ask me what I can do for you!
