Adrian is an ‘award-winning’ wildlife filmmaker, writer, adventurer, naturalist and conservationist.
He started out as an actor and voice over artist on stage and television and became an early pioneer of the then up and coming video games market in the early 1990’s.
Wildlife has been a constant throughout his life and having kept and bred all manner of animals, birds and fish since childhood, Adrian has been a consultant for a number of specialist animal organisations over the years (particularly all things ‘fishy’) and continues to be a volunteer Zoo Keeper when time permits. He has gone on to work with wildlife both behind and in front of camera in a vast range of countries and capacities, his life-long passion affording him an encyclopaedic knowledge and profound experience of the natural world.
Adrian made his presenting debut in Make me a Monkey (2005) for Electric Sky and wrote and presented Woolly Jumpers: Made in Peru for Discovery. An investigative and emotive story about woolly monkeys in South America, the film won “Best Newcomer” for Adrian at the prestigious International Wildlife Film Festival (IWFF) in America in 2007.
He has since presented Wildlife Heroes, a studio based show for Aqua Vita Films that celebrates the life of wildlife icons with Adrian as host and interviewer.
His latest series Gibbons: Back in the Swing sees Adrian again in the wild, and sometimes undercover, investigating the problems faced by gibbons in Asia. Transmitted on Animal Planet in February 2009, the series was well received and awarded ‘Pick of the Day’ in listings magazines.
A diverse and adaptable broadcaster, Adrian has also presented Rural Matters for Sky, a current affairs series about all aspects of country life that sees him both as studio host and location presenter.
Adrian is passionate about the world around him and is a PADI qualified open water scuba diver. A natural and engaging communicator, he has a thirst for wildlife, adventure and understanding. |
