About / Biography

Some subjects are important, but hard to sit through. Compliance. Finance. Health and safety. The technical detail, the annual update, the necessary-but-dry. These are the subjects I make worth listening to.

I host and present the material most people dread, and I make it clear, engaging, and quietly enjoyable. I hold the room's attention from the first minute to the last. I read the audience, keep the pace right, and turn "we have to get through this" into "that was actually good."

How I can help:

  • Master of Ceremonies and host — conferences, awards, corporate events and meetings, keeping your agenda moving and your audience with you
  • Speaker and presenter — bringing dry, technical or worthy subjects to life, for any size of room
  • Conference and panel host — chairing sessions and questions so even heavy material stays lively
  • Workshops and coaching — helping your team present their own difficult topics in a way people want to listen to

If you have a subject people usually switch off for, that is the one I want. Let's make it the part of the day they remember.

Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

My only requirement is that the ambient temperature be reasonable. I will provide my own props and resources based on your requirements.


What information do you require about a venue?

Please provide clear information about the venue, it's location and any requirements the venue may have, such as check-in, identity verification.


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

No. If your event requires sound and lighting this will need to be provided.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever worked at?

A favourite is a presentation I did for the London Fire Brigade, a day-long management conference didn't know what hit them when I showed up in jeans and a yellow t-shirt just before lunch. Senior managers are usually pressed for time and making sure felt their time was being used effectively to convey an important and useful message was a joy.


What's your favourite type of event?

Honestly, I get a kick from delivering interesting and engaging material where it isn't expected. "I never thought I would find decryption/re-encryption so enjoyable".


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

I cut my teeth speaking at church as a teenager, quickly realising I enjoyed speaking to groups of people and have sought opportunities to present and communicate ever since.


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

Vinh Giang, just excellent and deliberate approach to speaking and communicating.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

As an adaptable and flexible speaker there is little to no set up time outside the requirements driven by your venue. Setting up and testing slides and other media, sound and lighting checks. I'll arrive ahead of time, introduce myself and be ready to present when needed. I can flex around your needs - system just crashed and the engineers need twenty minutes to sort it? Not a problem.


Are you happy to perform outside?

Happy to perform in any environment with notice.


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

I can present your material but reserve the right to edit it in advance to make it more engaging and to ad lib as required during delivery to maintain the attention, focus and rapport with the audience.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Previous clients describe me as a relaxed and authoritative communicator, able to make anything interesting, always ready with an anecdote, observation or quip to keep the audience engaged.
