About you

I’m an avid cyclist with a deep passion for the outdoors. After years of cycling, I made a recent career shift to pursue my passion in the cycling industry prior to working as a real estate agent. I’ve been riding since a young age, beginning with mountain biking, and have since transitioned to endurance road cycling, gravel riding, and backpacking.

What brought you to cycling

I was first introduced to cycling by my father, I vividly remember the excitement when being collected on his bike from school. At the age of 16 I acquired my first ‘proper’ mountain bike. A GT Avalanche hardtail. I spent a whole summer working in a local bike shop to pay it off. I then began learning the trade, practicing at my local XC/Crosscountry trails at Donadea Forest in Kildare. Shortly after this, I began racing in the Gravity Enduro series.

Plans for 2025/2026

I would like to race in the Wicklow 200 and L'Etape Ireland. I also have some gravel/backpacking trips planned around Ireland. I would also like to make a return to mountain biking as I am missing it alot.
