M i s c e l l a n e o u s

I was born in the USA, but my family moved to Ireland when I was three years old so I received all education in this country. I hold dual citizenship and have an American and Irish passport. I worked in New York every summer from 1986 - 1990 before moving there to work for a year from October 1991 to October 1992. Apart from one summer in 1993, I've lived in Ireland permanently ever since. I visit the USA on a regular basis.
