He has enjoyed some success in writing having won the Marie Edgworth Award for Poetry as well as the Windows Award. He was involved in several projects with the Longford Arts Council and Poetry Ireland before moving to Galway. His writing is influenced principally by spiritually and how it affects the mind, with a focus on psychotherapy, theology and philosophy as a constant background in his work. He enjoyed the sporadic nature of poetry and how it blends well with an organic, holistic sense of self. He is currently working on his first book, a true story and what may be described as a 'psychological noire'; expected (with publishers help) in 2015.
