I have been working in hospitality for the last 25 years. I love creating and sharing great experiences with guests from my various roles of working in 5 star Irish hotels to guiding travellers through the beautiful wilds of Ireland.

Over the years, I have had the privilege of travelling in 26 countries spread across all 7 continents! My biggest adventures have been to travel to Antarctica to see the amazing wildlife and more recently to backpack throughout South East Asia with my family of 2 young boys for 3 months.

I have always been drawn to the outdoors – it’s where I most feel at home. If there is an activity that allows me to experience the wilder places of Ireland, I’m there: fly-fishing for trout and salmon, foraging for wild food, free diving and open water swimming, hiking, gardening, bee-keeping and laughing at every opportunity!

My wife keeps reminding me that I have too many interests and hobbies! I have always been besotted and intrigued by the natural world around me, and I have been lucky enough to have been involved in the making of several Irish wildlife documentaries, in both English and Irish Gaelic. At times I have had to pinch myself at the idea that kayaking around Ireland’s coast while discovering its wildlife was going to be a part of my career!

One of the biggest decisions I have made over the years was to follow a passion and move to the West Kerry Gaelteacht (Irish-speaking region) for a year to study the Irish language and sean-nós singing (traditional Irish singing practiced in the Gaeltacht). It was an amazing experience of cultural immersion that has enriched and changed my life’s path.
