About Me:

I have been involved with radio since the ‘Pirate’ days back in the 80’s. I worked with local stations in North Dublin before moving onto Radio Dublin and KICK FM. I then switched to Hospital Radio, joining Beaumont Hospital Radio in 2003 and after it closed, onto St Ita’s Hospital Radio. I joined Spirit Radio in 2017 where I am currently presenting.

During the day, I work for an International Transport company and I have completed a course in Radio Production at night. I enjoy helping charities having done a parachute jump back in 1988 and I’m delighted to be able to continue this, with Christmas FM. I live with my wife Ailish and two daughters  in North Co. Dublin. My interests include Genealogy and I am currently working on our family tree.
