The sky was never the limit.

I spent 14 years building one of the world's most respected aerial cinematography companies. Today, I fly freelance and build education platforms for the next generation of drone pilots.

I co-founded XM2, an aerial cinematography company that grew from a garage into a 7-figure global operation. Over 14 years I have flown on every continent, delivered shots most pilots would not attempt, and built a reputation as one of the most trusted drone operators in the film industry.

Whether it is a chase sequence through a European city, an aerial reveal over Antarctic ice, or an FPV shot threading through a live film set, I bring calm precision to high-pressure situations. Today I work as a freelance drone cinematographer while building Drone Pro Hub, an education platform for professional pilots.

Before drones, I was a national-level swimmer, an RC touring car national champion, and an entrepreneur who started importing and selling RC helicopters in shopping centres across Australia. That obsessive drive to master anything I touch is what eventually led me to build one of the world's leading aerial cinematography companies.
