Growing up in rural Ireland, I played GAA for both the school and local club, before moving to Basketball and Athletics with competitive racing in Cross Country Running & Cross Country Mountain biking. I swam and played waterpolo with the NUIM Devils Swim team during college competing in both Intervarsity and league level.

​I started training for my first triathlon in 2006. I have competed both nationally & internationally in all distances from sprint to Ironman distances. I have competed in excess of 20 Ironman 70.3 ( including Lanzarote, Mallorca, Aix En Provence, Luxemburg, The Lost Sheep) and 5 Ironman (including Lanzarote, Challenge Roth x 2, Frankfurt, Vitoria-Gastiez).

​I have spent many years racing at a club level in both Ireland and USA as a member of The Calumet Striders (USA), Donore Harriers (ROI) and currently St. Coca's Athletic (ROI) where I am also involved in the coaching side.

​I have also completed many Marathons since 2009 including Marine Corps Marathon and Dublin City Marathon too many times to remember!

Other Endurance challenges include CLEC (Carlingford Lough Endurance Challenge), Quest Adventure races, IMRA Ultra races, MTB Marathon events, Xterra Triathlon.

My coaching philosophy is based on a scientific method mixed with psychological & cognitive training to get the most out of yourself on race day.
Helping & advising athletes on balancing their training, racing, work, family, lifestyle and rest aspects of their sporting career.
