I've been acting for as long as I can remember. I've done theatre, comedy, corporate gigs - a lot of pub-theatre and a little film work. I feel relaxed in front of the camera and I am a quick study and a good collaborator. I also write and I have completed some feature screenplays and a few shorts, winning an award for my short screenplay, e-Eye, at the Berlin Flash Film Festival in May 2018.

I have been acting and writing from a very early age.

I have acted in a wide range of plays including many one-acts. These include roles as diverse as Lane in The Importance of Being Earnest; Gar (Private) in Philadelphia, Here I Come; The Maniac in Accidental Death of an Anarchist; and the Frontier Guard in The Lament For Arthur Cleary. The large number of one-act plays includes works by Myles Na gCopaleen and John B. Keane.

I have also appeared film productions such as Bouncers, Almost There, and The Gift.
I am a committed and very hard worker and I get a lot of enjoyment from the challenges acting brings.
I also write and have finished my first short film as writer and director.
I have a feature screenplay ready to go (hint) and another in the pipeline.
I am really only happy when I am creating something.
