He entered the radio industry in 1994 after winning a DJ competition hosted by Commercial Radio called 《叱吒殺戮新大陸》. He was given the nickname "森美" by a station staff member who pronounced his English name Sammy that way.

Beyond radio, he expanded into television, film, variety shows and travel programmes, forming the travel show 《森美旅行團》 with his team. He also performed solo stand-up comedy and stage plays, and returned to his alma mater to lecture in radio production for five years. In 2021, he served as a star host on the singing talent show 《聲夢傳奇》 on TVB.
