He received his degree from Cardiff University in 1978. His career began in 1978 at the little town station in Scotland called Radio Clyde, and he then worked as a freelancer in the USA for a while. He began his career with the BBC in 1986 as a reporter for the Today show and Breakfast Time. In 1990, he was appointed as a correspondent for BBC News.
He reported from more than thirty locations while covering a wide range of domestic and international stories, including a four-year spell as a Washington Correspondent in the United States.

Simpson murder trial and the Monica Lewinsky scandal that toppled Bill Clinton’s administration.
He debuted his own radio show on Classic FM in April 2016. The event ran on Saturday and Sunday from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm.
