My career started in stage lighting in 1973, and I went on to light almost everything. Serious works included theatre; I designed lighting for 'The Cakeman', a Bobby Merritt play, and was mentored by the late Roger Barratt, acclaimed as one of Australia's greatest lighting designers. Events I designed or worked on include the first three Sydney Festivals with outdoor concerts at the Opera House on new year's eve, and the Art Gallery Society Christmas Party between 1976 and 1978 for Leslie Walford. I have lit conventions, fashion parades, dance, rock concerts, parks, buildings and waterfalls.

Across the 1980's I toured live audio and production, established Graftons Sound & Lighting (sold in 1988) and set up the Australian Monitor brand manufacturing amplifiers and speaker systems.

1990 saw me establish what is today CX Magazine, the AV industry trade journal. I sold CX in 2019. In 1994 I established ENTECH, the industry trade-show which continues today as ENTECH Roadshow, held nationally each March.

Until 2011 I ran Julius Events College, a registered training organisation delivering Diploma of Technical Production, Theatre and Events from a campus at Rydalmere.
