He attended the Lane Theatre Arts drama school, and after graduating started appearing regularly on stage. He has also performed in a number of jukebox musicals, including Never Forget, Our House, and Mamma Mia! And away from performing he also developed a love for photography, and in 2013 set up his own photography business, specialising in portraits, fashion, fitness, boudoir (underwear/lingerie), dudoir (boudoir for the dudes!), and headshots.
