My love for the outdoors and photography came from time spent in the Dublin and Wicklow hills growing up and while travelling and working abroad.

I value the experiences that working in the outdoors bring and feel there is much to translate to our professional lives in leadership and personal development and, in helping others to achieve their goals in a safe and prudent manner.

Guiding and teaching in the outdoors is a fulfilling way to give back and through fund raising and volunteering at events supporting mountain rescue and other causes, I try to contribute to the many volunteers who give their time to help others in difficulty or in need of help on Ireland’s trails and hills.
