About me:

I work for the BBC in the South West of England. Until March 2008 I presented John Govier's Late Night Radio Show each weekday from 10pm - 1am on BBC Radios Devon, Cornwall, Jersey and Guernsey.

In May 2008, I became the SBJ Programmes for BBC Radio Devon.

Previously I worked on the BBC Devon website and I've done a bit of filming and reporting for Spotlight TV.

Before the Beeb, I was in Hotel Management for several years, I also owned a own pub (and still own my own beer belly!).

Throughout December 2009, I'll be back on air with John Govier's Late Night Radio Show from 10pm - 1am on BBC Radio Devon, BBC Radio Cornwall, BBC Jersey, BBC Guernsey, BBC Somerset, BBC Radio Bristol, BBC Gloucestershire and BBC Wiltshire. Oh yeh - and online too!

This is my own personal MySpace page and does not reflect the views of the BBC.

Who I'd like to meet:

I love meeting people - full stop! That's why my job is so great. I love "human interest" stories and meeting people who have pushed the boundaries.
