This is where the personal meets the professional—where insights from a morning walk along the coast can inform a strategy for team alignment. Whether you’re here to explore ideas, learn from my journey, or see if we might work together, I’m glad you’re here.

I grew up in Donegal, Ireland, in a family grocery store where I learned the fundamentals that would shape my entire career: hard work, determination, and a good attitude. Those early years taught me that success isn’t just about what you achieve—it’s about how you show up, how you treat people, and whether you’re willing to go beyond what’s expected.

Sport played a huge part in shaping who I am. I played anything that involved a ball—Gaelic football, soccer, basketball—and I played a lot. Through sport I learned about team dynamics, about how a coach could motivate a group of individuals and the different ways leadership could look. I had some brilliant coaches—great with people, deeply relational, and tough when they needed to be. I was a decent sportsman playing at a decent level. There were memorable wins, but there were plenty of losses too—and the losses often taught me more. You learn more from losing than winning, both personally and as a team.

After training as an electrician, I spent 38 years abroad, building a career in sales that took me from the shop floor to the executive suite. I worked across continents, led global sales teams, and eventually became Chief Revenue Officer at CompTIA, where I helped establish it as the world’s leading IT vendor-neutral certification provider and tripled global revenue.

After nearly four decades away, I’ve returned home to Ireland. I’m settled in Blackrock, just outside Dublin, with a view of the sea. I visit Donegal regularly, walk the beach at Narin and Portnoo, and reconnect with family and friends. Coming home wasn’t just a change of scenery—it was a profound shift in perspective.

Today, I’m using everything I’ve learned to help individuals and organizations unlock their full potential. I’ve developed SalesCraft, a framework that transforms how individuals sell and lead, and I’m licensed to deliver UpAGear, which aligns teams and drives measurable results.
