I'm the Ski Sunday Series Producer, the person responsible for the content of the programme.

It's my call which features we film, which events we cover and it's down to me to take care of the overall look of the programme.

You may have noticed one or two changes to Ski Sunday this year, well, let me know what you think.

If you share my passion for the mountains then I hope this is the show for you. If you have any queries about any part of the output then please get in touch, I would really like to hear from you.

This is my fourth outing as producer of Sport Relief since we started the project in 2002 and it has been an amazing opportunity to work with Comic Relief after many years in sports broadcasting.

I first joined BBC Sport as a floor manager in 1989 before becoming an assistant producer five years later and have worked in various roles across the full range of shows including Grandstand, Match of the Day, Sportsnight and the Olympics. Cricket was always my favourite sport when I was growing up in Essex, so it was a dream role for me when I worked on our coverage of the game from 1995 to 1999, especially when a small group of us were let loose on a new magazine show that ran for four years called Gower's Cricket Monthly.

After a spell as an editor with Radio Five Live I joined Jon Rowlands and Andy Harris to produce the first Sport Relief in 2002. My role is primarily to oversee the pan BBC TV, radio and new media campaign, work with the sporting bodies and produce the Sport Relief Mile Show on BBC One in March but I've had a varied and unpredictable few years on Sport Relief.

It is hard to imagine an edition of Grandstand where I would have found myself hunting for the Prime Minister's lost shirt as he stood dripping wet in his underpants after playing tennis at Queen's, filming David Walliams as he swam, unrecognised, down the Thames on a freezing Sunday afternoon or watching, amazed, as 20,000 people took part in the 2006 Mile at London Embankment.

As a sideline I've also written a few anniversary based sports books that trace the histories of Sport Personality of the Year, Match of the Day and The Premiership so I'm hoping that Sport Relief keeps going for a while yet so that I can get extra use out of the many boxes of emails, scripts and general bumph that has built up along the way.

I became editor of Sports Personality of the Year in 2006 when we moved the programme from BBC Television Centre in London to Birmingham's NEC. It was the first time the show had been filmed outside of London and it was also the first time ever that members of the public were able to come along and watch the show live.

I'm also now Editor of Sport Relief for the BBC. Having raised £50 million in its first three outings Sport Relief is back in March 2008 and promises to be bigger and better than ever before. For many years I was series producer of the popular quiz Question of Sport working with presenters David Coleman and Sue Barker, plus captains Ian Botham, Bill Beaumont, Ally McCoist, Frankie Dettori, John Parrott and Matt Dawson.

I'm the multimedia commissioning editor for the BBC's sports news. I think I must win the prize for the longest job title and I know what you thinking . . . What on earth does he do?

Well, basically, my job is to co-ordinate our sports journalism across television, radio and the website. The aim is to break stories, set the sports news agenda and interview the big names in sport.
