I am 25 years old and live in Cork city in Ireland.

Hold a degree in Electrical Engineering.

Had my 15 minutes of fame on Irish TV's Wanderlust program where I was taken to Thailand on a blind date.

Nearly died a few days after coming home from Bangkok. I contracted Deep Vein Thrombosis (from the flight) and Pneunonia... but I survived.

Work as an Electrical Engineer with PM.

I am a martial arts student, and am a black-belt in Takwon-do, studying under Mr. Don Dalton 6th Dan with the CIT Takwon-Do club. Mr. Don Dalton is the Chairperson of the Irish United Takwon-Do Federation, and I designed and maintain their website.

My favourite musical artists are Jeff Buckley, David Bowie, and Nirvana.

I don't watch tv much but my most favourite tv show is The West Wing, not everybody's favourite but I like it.

My favourite author is Terry Pratchett and I think I've read all his books.

I am also a Registered Engineer with the IEI, as seen from my enclosed CV.
