“When I have some spare time, I enjoy hitting the gym, getting out and about with my family, walking the dogs and travelling. One of my favourite places on earth is Achill Island in the west of Ireland. I also love to read and I’m developing a love of gardening too.”

He isn’t keen on fluff however, and he only ever aims to include information that is relevant and actionable. He endeavours to make his writing easily digestible, though there is always room for a little fun along the way.
