Versatile professional with a diverse background spanning leadership, research, and education. Currently serving as the administrator for an Irish NGO, I bring strategic oversight and operational expertise to support impactful work.
Former soldier, sailor, and lecturer specialising in U.S. politics and political violence, with extensive experience in research and analysis of complex global issues. An adaptable and creative thinker, I thrive on collaboration and interdisciplinary approaches.
Based in Ireland’s midlands, I offer a European perspective to my work and am passionate about fostering connections across borders. In my downtime, I’m a devoted partner, father, sci-fi enthusiast, and proud pet parent to one dog and six cats.
