I was literally born dying, anointed by a priest, struggled to survive and obviously did! (The Survival of the Fittest !!!!!!!)
I am like Abraham Lincoln, self educated, and might be viewed as a polymath, left school young and commenced my real education.
Because of my background I ended up a leader and teacher in a Christian faith. I studied in Trinity College, Dublin, addressed students in University College and lectured to thousands in England and the USA.
I owned a Public relations company, radio station, produced and launched an educational lifestyle magazine. I have had articles, poetry and letters published in TIME , The Sunday Times and Dubliner Magazine among others. Did a pilot for the BBC and SKY TV etc endeavoring to be a presenter. I was also a DJ on some local radio stations.
I was also an Actor, ("A great actor can create a brilliant character, but a great character can be himself")
I organised 164 researchers and read 100 years of newspapers to produce an interesting product called "The Day You Were Born" which is live on the internet.
I also completed two courses on Marriage Counseling.
Last year (2009) I sold The Hollywood Academy for Music and Dance, which included "The Parnell School of Music" this also incorporated a recording studio.
However, my real passion now is my book and the elevation of reason above fantasy.
