Always seeking further opportunities in the Photography and UAV industry.I am a professional photographer and qualified Drone Pilot with CAA Permission for aerial work. I am an experienced UAV camera operator and UAV operator trainer. I run my own company specialising in photography and video including aerial video and photography, though also operate drones freelance for other companies.In 2019 one of my photographs was awarded 'Highly Commended' in the Wildlife Photographer of the Year Awards, one of 100 photographs awarded from 48,000 entries. The photograph was also chosen to be displayed in the State dining room at 10 Downing Street.Leaving school at the age of 16, I served with the Royal Air Force as a Weapons Technician for almost 9 ½ years and was involved in maintenance and repair of weapons and weapon systems. During this time I worked in second line servicing on Phantom aircraft and later I worked on a Tornado squadron. During my service I invented an ejection seat safety device for use by fire fighters and received an award in recognition of this.I joined Durham Constabulary in 1989 and I became an authorised Police firearms officer soon after completing my 2 years probation and became a Firearms Instructor after seven years Police service.As a firearms officer I have taken part in many live firearms operations. Since becoming a firearms instructor I took on the responsibility for sniper training. I became a member of the National Police Rifle working group when it was formed, representing the north of England in re-writing the curriculum covering the training and deployment of the Police Sniper. From June 2011 to November 2012 I was the chair of this group. Trained as a Close Protection Officer, I have been involved in many close protection operations involving dignitaries and members of the Royal Family. During a visit to the UK by the American President, George Bush, I was responsible for the venue protection of Teesside International Airport.
