Born in the west of Ireland in the economic vacuum that followed WW2 Grew up on Beatles Mohammad Ali Worried about the troubles and sustainable farming Studied agriculture instead of English I feel my roots are Viking and would like to see Norway as well as California . My interest in farming has led me to supply a vast range of farm machinery parts. I am married to Karen and we have two daughters and a son I am dedicated to Gaelic football which is like a friend factory My ambition along with seeing Norway and California is to climb Kilamanjario and publish my poems
