Born in the U.S. and educated at the well known USC Film School, I worked for several years in the LA TV and Film industry, including a stint at Columbia Pictures Television. I then left the US for Fiji, producing educational videos for the government and for international organisations. For 7 years I worked as a trainer and producer with the Pacific Community, developing a regional training program for new Pacific island TV stations and their staff. I then set up my own company, Pasifika Communications in 1994 with an Australian partner, Glen Hughes who left the company in 2017. For its entire history Pasifika Communications has developed video programs and communication campaigns for prominent international companies and international development agencies such as UNDP, UNICEF and ADB.
