After a career spanning 14 years as a Professional Rugby Player with Ulster and Ireland, I took the decision to move into the world of Financial Services. Firstly, with PWC, before embarking on a road of re-education and retraining to become a Financial Adviser with PFP Wealth and St. James's Place.
I earned a BA in Business Studies and Marketing before I began my Professional Rugby career in 2001. Post rugby, I have achieved my Diploma in Regulated Financial Planning, and it will be my goal to become Chartered in the coming years.
I pride myself on providing structured, goal-based planning advice to business owners, professionals and private clients in a way that is visual, clear and meaningful.
I am based in Belfast and have three young kids, Paddy-Jack, Leila and, more recently, Maisie, who all keep me on my toes! Outside of work I enjoy a round of golf. I am at an age now where I can see more time available to renew my passion for golf and my local club, Royal Belfast. I am also a regular contributor to media outlets who I provide commentary and insight for on both Ireland and Ulster Rugby match days.
