He was educated in The Christian Brothers primary and, secondary schools. He left school at fifteen and, served a five year apprenticeship in carpentry. He worked in the construction industry for a further six years after completing this apprenticeship. During that time he completed a four year course in Interior Design and Construction. He started his own design practice in 1981. The business was successful for a number of years but, the recession of the mid eighties, virtually wiped out the need for those professional services.
In September 1986 he emigrated to Canada. He lived in Toronto for three years and, St.Catherines close to Niagara Falls, for three and a half years. It was during this time he developed his interest in writing. He wrote a number of stories in screenplay format.
He returned to Ireland in December 1992 and, once again, worked in the construction industry. In January 1995 he began his career as a staff supervisor for a voluntary organisation in his ome town of Wexford in the famously sunny south east corner of Ireland. He still works for this organisation to this day. In 2011 he decided, once again, to work on his ideas, only this time to write them as books.
His first book titled The Attic, a tense crime thriller, was published in December 2013. Shortly after this, in late January 2014, he suffered a near fatal heart attack . He is now fit and well once again and, Is very pleased to be able to publish his second novel.view less
