I am currently the 'English Voice of the 24 Hours of Le Mans' providing live trackside commentary for the ACO to 300,000+ fans trackside at Le Mans for the World's greatest race! This includes providing live updates in English on all the sessions, including supports series, from Wednesday onwards.I work alongside Bruno Vandestick and the rest of the French speaking commentary team who have been a fantastic team to work with since joining last year.It is a role I started in 2022 taking over from David Waldron who had commentated the event from 1988 previously taking over from Bob Constanduros who first created the role. Following in their footsteps and having the privilege to commentate on the event for the organisers is a real highlight of my season and something I consider a huge privilege! Commentating the centenary to a record crowd in 2022 is something I'll never forget!I am pleased to confirm I will be returning to commentate on the event in 2024!

I have had the pleasure of commentating for Sky Sports F1 on a few occasions since 2021 on IndyCar, F1 Kids and I also helped voice a Red Bull Juniors Feature filmed at Whilton Mill Kart Circuit.I was the Host & Commentator for the Singapore Grand Prix for the F1 Kids Broadcast which was available on the red button live on Sky Sports F1.Overall I have commentated on 3 IndyCar races including the 2021 Detroit Grand Prix & Bommarito 500 Oval Race along with the Gallagher Grand Prix in 2022.The Red Bull Juniors Karting Feature was filmed in 2021 and featured the drivers racing around Whilton Mill. I commentated the race which was later played in full several times on Sky Sports F1 often on build up to race weekends.

My first experience of working for Discovery came in May 2019 when I was asked to be on the commentary team for a very eventful and memorable 6 Hours of Spa race in FIA WEC. A huge honour to be called up to do such a prestigious championship straight away and it would lead on to many more trips into the studio.Since then I have commentated live on Eurosport on the FIA WTCR, FIM EWC, FIM World SuperSport Championship and the Bol'Dor at Le Mans.

In 2024 I will be going into my fourth season as the Series Commentator for the Formula Regional European Championship by Alpine! When the series was relaunched under a new name and partnership in 2021 it was a privilege to be asked to be the Series Commentator with the first 3 rounds of the season supports F1 races.Ever since I have worked very closely with the organisers in developing and improving the broadcast side of the championship which included introducing 'Paddock Live' which is filmed live on Instagram the Friday of each event and also then led me to work closely with MP Motorsport and Dilano van't Hoff's family after his passing to produce and voice a tribute video to be played at his funeral.I consider myself lucky to be a part of the team and the 2024 season will once again be a very exciting one! 2024 Calendar:Round 1 - Hockenheim - 11th/12th May (GT Open)Round 2 - Spa - 25th/26th May (GT Open)Round 3 - Zandvoort - 8th/9th June (DTM)Round 4 - Hungaroring - 22nd/23rd June (GT Open)Round 5 - Mugello - 13th/14th July (Italian GT)Round 6 - Paul Ricard - 20th/21st July (GT Open)Round 7 - Imola - 7th/8th September (Italian GT)Round 8 - Red Bull Ring - 14th/15th September (GT Open)Round 9 - Barcelona - 28th/29th September (GT Open)Round 10 - Monza - 26th/27th October (Italian GT)All events will be live streamed for qualifying and races including the Paddock Live show on Friday. I also write and record the voiceovers for the highlights packages.My relationship with Alpine also stretches to commentating on the Formula Renault Eurocup in both 2019 & 2020 along with Clio Cup Europe in 2022.

One of the highlights of my career so far fell in May 2022 when I was asked to be the Event Host for Credit Suisse at the Monaco Historic Grand Prix.As well as being invited as a special guest of Credit Suisse I was asked to fill the roles of Moderator and Commentator for the event for the Credit Suisse guests where I was hosting interviews with ex Formula 1 driver and 5x 24 Hour of Le Mans Winner, Derek Bell. Along with interviewing 2x Le Mans winner Romain Dumas.Doing this trackside at the event was a new challenge for me and a real honour and definitely an experience I will never forget!

I have worked with the Motorsport Network since 2019 in several roles and have really enjoyed getting to know James Allen and the team there.The role people may remember me most for will be for being one of four presenters on MSTV Live in 2021/22, a live news broadcasting show for Motorsport and the first of its kind! It was a fantastic opportunity for me and a brand new challenge to try live news reading as well as having the chance to interview drivers from F1, FIA WEC, BTCC and more!I have also commentated for them on several championships over the years including Super Formula, Super GT, Brazil Stock Cars and CIV Superbike Championship.

I first began commentating for Motorsport Games in June 2019 when I was asked to be on the team for the first ever Le Mans Esports Final the 24 Hours of Le Mans.From there I became Lead Commentator for both the Le Mans Esports Series and Dirt Rally 2.0 Series in 2020 hosting finals live on stage at the Autosport International Show.This then led to me commentating on what will always be one of the most viewed Esports races in the inaugural 24 Hours of Le Mans Virtual in June 2020 which played out live across 58 countries with a viewership of over 20 million live spectators!I have since continued working with Motorsport Games as part of the commentary team for the 24 Hours of Le Mans Virtual in 2022 & 2023 and the Le Mans Virtual Series along with the Indy Pro Challenge.

I have been fortunate enough to be given a few opportunities to work with MSV both behind the microphone and in front of camera in some of their lead sportscar and single seater championships.In 2023 I was given the opportunity to present a round of the GB3 & GB4 Championship at Silverstone which included doing some interviews in the famous BRDC Clubhouse.On the commentary side I was given the chance to commentate on the British Touring Car Championship at Croft in 2020 providing live trackside coverage along with Alan Hyde. I also had the chance to commentate on Ferrari Challenge UK at Donington Park in June 2022, a great expeirence given the status of the series across the globe.

GT Sport gave me one of my first big breaks when they asked me to come and commentate for them on the 200th International GT Open race and Euroformula Open support race at Red Bull Ring in 2019.After a successful weekend I was brought back on a full-time basis in 2020 commentating on International GT Open, GT Cup Open Europe & Euroformula Open. I really enjoyed my time working with them and it gave me a chance to travel to some of the best circuits in Europe during what was a very difficult time for us all.Along with commentating I would present and voice the highlights packages during race weekends filling all three roles by myself.I was unable to continue my role in 2021 due to other commitments, but have been back to work for GT Sport since and continue to keep a close relationship with them.

I began commentating live on BT Sport during the COVID-19 pandemic when the channel decided to take the opportunity to launch thier own eSports racing championship called the Isolation eRacing Series which brought together Motorsports best drivers from their homes during lockdown.Being asked to be the lead commentator for it was a privilege and was where my journey with LoudSpeaker Agency began. This then led into me being the commentator for the Ultimate eDriver Series which was great fun and was also broadcast live on BT Sport every Monday at 6pm.
