He has studied with significant artists from most continents and completed a degree with Honours in classical percussion at the Victorian College of the Arts.

He has performed throughout Australia, Europe, Asia, and North America with a wide variety of artists and in many contexts. His conducting experience ranges from his own ensemble, Speak Percussion to Melbourne new music ensemble Quiver to pedagogical projects at VCASS and now, to ELISION Ensemble. ELISION is an Australian performing arts company of international significance. Having established a virtuosic profile for Australian new music performance ELISION is heavily engaged in experimenting with different modes of performance. The practice of the ensemble ranges from concert-giving to cross-disciplinary projects with a range of new media and visual artists, installation-performance works, and the use of improvisational experiences as a creative tool to inform more structured and formally notated music. International concert and recording engagements received include performances at the Hebbel Theater Berlin, the Berlin Philharmonie and Konzerthaus (Ultraschall festiva), Jtidisches Museum Berlin (MaerzMusik), Wien Modern, Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival, the Westdeutscher Rundfunk and Radio Bremen, Warsaw Autumn Festival, Chekhov International Theatre Festival of Moscow, Festival Ars Musica of Brussels, the Zurcher Theaterspektakel, Saitama Arts Theatre of Japan, IRCAM as part of the Agora festival in Paris and the Ultima Festival of Oslo.
