As a former secondary school teacher, I changed my career path out of a desire for more excitement and challenge - be careful what you wish for! Now a 25 year veteran of the IRFU I've witnessed enormous changes, particularly over the past two years. I'm blessed that my job has taken me around the world, but even more blessed with my wife and daughter who wait for me at home, along with a labrador cross who owns us called Oscar. Like Oscar, I try to learn new tricks - even as an old dog.
