About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to enjoy life to the fullest, spread love and happiness, and try everyhting at least once

ABOUT ME

Ive been living in Dublin for 7 years now, and running my own company for the last year and a half. I spend most of my money on good food and records. music is something that plays a huge part in my life, I used to dj in bars &clubs but I really just do podcasts and radio spots now. Reggae consumed all my music consumption for about 5years there, but Im varying it alot more now. Dubstep has taken me by storm, great for knees up dancing.
I love animation and film and am producing some short films. In the near future I will be focusing on kids tv and web stuff, cartoons!
So basically if I'm not working on animation, or listening to reggae, I'm probably eating anything and everything around me. Dabbling with elements of vegan diets, raw food, and then reverting back to good old fashion whatever's going diet. which I find is healthiest for the soul.
I also cycle everywhere in Dublin, so now when I travel I just wanna hop on a bike. If people come to visit I have more than one bike and am delighted to share. One is a post bike so you can even fit an extra person on the front!
I also enjoy writing long blurbs that are all about me.

PHILOSOPHY

there is no right or wrong in the universe, so explore everthing that your heart desires. Just respect everyone around you and their right to enjoy themselves too.

If you open yourself to all the wonders of the universe they will present themselves to you.
