Jonathan has worked in various sectors of the media industry including inflight entertainment and Australian broadcast news. After leaving the role as online marketing co-ordinator at a TV channel which serves the Third Sector, he freelanced for the popular science magazine How It Works. His lifelong interest in the 3D and attractions industry led him to launching 3dfocus.co.uk which timed well with the resurgent interest in 3D entertainment. Since then, he has devoted his time establishing the website as a reliable 3D news resource, forming close links with the 3D production industry and facilitating the sharing of experience, skills and knowledge in this new wave of entertainment.
