I founded Westward Films in 2012 on the absolute belief that only film can truly capture the heart and soul of the people in front of the camera. The story telling is by far the most important part of the art and it is what I enjoy most about this job.

Managing Westward Films is my full time occupation but I have many other passions. I hold a PhD in Biomedical Science and still lead a research program at Monash University into the prevention of heart attack and stroke. If I’m not filming weddings or I’m not in the lab, I love to spend time with my 4 children, ride my motorbike or you find me piloting a plane over the Yarra Valley.
