After leaving college, I embarked on a career in the transportation industry. But despite the pressures and time consuming nature of the job, I never lost my interest in words.

Several years ago, I decided it was time to pick up the gauntlet, well, a pen actually, and try my hand at writing. I enrolled in a creative writing course and found, that with a little effort, I was capable of producing  readable material.

My first article was published soon after, and my work has now appeared in various UK and Irish magazines, as well as the internet. I specialise in writing non-fiction articles, and the areas I've covered include: Irish, British and American history, fish keeping, mental health, parenting, travel, education and cinema.

But my thirst for knowledge and my insistent research skills, mean I'll write on any subject that an editor demands. I'm willing to consider any opportunity, and I regard no job too big or small.  I'm  particular when it comes to proofreading and give every article I write my full commitment.

I'm currently trying to expand my portfolio, by venturing into fiction and, as well working on several short stories, I'm currently putting together the plot for my first novel. 

I relish the outdoors. Hiking and country walking are two of my favourite pursuits, and I can often be found roaming the hills close to my home, where I live with my wife, our daughter, an insane Collie and a sizeable Persian cat.
