I was born in Armagh, Northern Ireland in 1970 and was moved to Dublin in 1974 and then to Chicago in 1979. Upon my departure from education in 1987, I’d been in about 8 homes and 9 schools which really boosted my confidence . I worked as a broker in Manhattan and a barbecue salesman in Sydney and a bartender in Japan with some banking and retail and marketing and sales roles along the way at home in Ireland. When I was 30, I entered full time education and started to train people on how to develop a business plan and be more confident and then discovered life coaching and mediation as well as Buddhist meditation. In 2005, I met Olga in Vietnam, emigrated for love in 2007 , became a father in 2016 and have adapted into Russian life and culture. Most of my free time is spent helping others as a charity volunteer and I read and write daily and spend as much quality time with my girls as possible. I earn an income from directorships, coaching,acting and teaching.
