Born in the rugged North East of England, I hit London at 18 with a mission: to lead at the highest levels of the live entertainment world. After a meteoric rise in elite security—working under Flying Squad legend George Gibbs and safeguarding artists like George Michael and Alice Cooper—I transitioned seamlessly into touring and production, where I’ve spent the past three decades shaping the global standard.

My breakthrough into music touring came when Jive Records CEO Steve Jenkins brought me on to lead Steps’ record-breaking tours. From there, I became a trusted name behind the scenes for superstars like Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, Backstreet Boys, and NSYNC, delivering exceptional touring experiences across Europe and North America.

As founder of Total Touring Limited, I’ve led world-class productions for major acts including Tom Jones, Madness, and Tears for Fears, as well as large-scale live shows like Bestival, Rockness, and international stadium events. My expertise spans every layer of tour and event execution—logistics, budgeting, creative coordination, and artist liaison—all while ensuring seamless security integration when needed.

I’ve been behind pivotal comebacks, such as Steps’ return to the stage and Seal’s European tour, and played a critical role in bringing U.S. star Cher Lloyd to international audiences. My work has also extended to global consulting, from advising the United Nations in Afghanistan to engineering the global touring strategy and security for BTS on behalf of Live Nation.

From intimate club tours to international stadium shows, I deliver high-level touring and production solutions that are artist-focused, results-driven, and executed with precision. With a reputation built on trust, experience, and excellence, I remain a go-to consultant for music icons, promoters, and entertainment brands worldwide.

continue to lead with passion, innovation, and an unbreakable commitment to excellence. From protecting the world’s most high-profile individuals to producing record-breaking tours and building global safety strategies, my journey is a testament to resilience, leadership, and a relentless pursuit of mastery.
