Shaun has worked in documentary television since graduating with a Master's Degree in philosophy in 1996. He has produced and directed several documentaries, but works primarily in research and development - dividing his time between current affairs journalism for programs such as Channel Four's Dispatches and more narrative-based historical and biographical films for the Discovery Channel, including the series Puzzles of the Past.

Shaun joined Atlantic in the spring of 1999, where he has been developing ideas for future television and convergent media projects.
