As an Expat from the UK, I wanted to give something back to the community to which I now live in so I decided that the Youth Focus charity was an obvious choice for what it stands for.

I've been in Australia for 4 1/2 years and have also spent 2 1/2 years with my company in Thailand previously. I'm married to Alison with two fantastic boys Cian (6) and Fintan (3).

I'm a keen sports fan with Football (Soccer) being my no 1 sport and a keen Manchester United fan however my particpation in cycling events both races and sportif sytle events has kept me reasonably fit and has opened new doors to friendship.

I'm looking forward to spending another week in March with a fantastic bunch of friends.
