An active youth who enjoyed most sports, playing for my high school basketball team, cycling everywhere. Admittedly partying hard for my early 20’s, exercise became my profession, when I stepped away from a career in finance, becoming a bicycle messenger in Dublin for over 9 years.

8+ hours on a fixed gear bike, in all weathers developed grit, finding a self respect amidst the traffic and a lust for physical exertion. Competing in many ‘underground’ alleycat races on the streets during this period, culminating in a 2nd place for the street race at the Messenger World Championships held in Dublin 2007. Also completed 2 24 Hour races around Holland organised by it’s messengers.

moving on to set up a streetwear company left a huge vacancy in my activity. continuing to ride bikes, i started training at home with dumbbells and bodyweight, learning what I could online, to progress my technique until deciding to attain further knowledge.

I carried my own ashes to the mountains,

I invented a brighter flame for myself.”

enrolling with Fitcert, I very quickly felt I’d found my calling, completing

ITEC Fitness Instruction Level 2 and

ITEC Personal Trainer Level 3 with distinction.

Adding to this

ITEC Strength & Conditioning and

ITEC Kettlebell courses.

Working part time as a bicycle mechanic, I pursued aligning my passion for fitness with my career path, by teaming up with a past colleague from the road, who’d chosen a similar path.

becoming an assistant coach at 5 Point Fitness for just under a year, coaching small group training circuit classes and taking a number of clients for a strength & conditioning class and personal training.

Joining Flyefit Georges St. in Dec 17 as a Personal Trainer while coaching a variety of classes, from conditioning and spin, Pump and ass & Abs to yoga and Pilates, I’ve since adopted more managerial tasks as Duty manager and currently assistant manager, while still coaching clients in person and online.

During this time my own training has migrated from conditioning WODs to bodybuilding, competing in Men’s Physique at the RIBBF Nationals 2018, continuing to grow & learn each day.
