HOBBIES

From an early age, I have always been involved in sports from Gaelic Football, Hurling, Soccer, and Basketball. I am a member of Aghada Gaa Club where the highlight was winning the All-Ireland Senior Football Sevens in 2003. After many years of playing Football, I have become obsessed with endurance sports. Starting with running, then cycling which led to adventure racing and triathlon. It started with me struggling to get out of the water at my first sprint distance in 2016 to complete an Ironman in 2019, which was a big achievement for me. I also enjoy hiking and have trekked in the Himalayas. I am an avid reader and podcast listener with topics ranging from sports, economics, history, science, and fiction. I also try to get out as much as I can and try to improve my photography skills, I mainly focus on the landscape.
