I'm a theatre artist making work in Cork. I write plays and musicals and perform in both.

 

I was the inaugural Theatre Artist in Residence at Cork Opera House-UCC 2018 - 2020. I've been a mentor on the Young Playwrights Programme in Cork since its inception, and creator of Hammergrin's In Darkness Vast. I was nominated Best Supporting Actor at the 2019 Irish Theatre Awards.

​​

I live near the bottom of a steep hill with my wife and daughter.
