After a business life during which I delivered many talks to Rotary Clubs while travelling across the world to establish my chemical company, i retired to a life as an author and poet.

In 2017, I was invited to read from a prize-winning memoir at the West Cork Literary Festival .

A recently completed project is a Life of Ludwig van Beethoven with relevant musical interludes from his works. The result is a series of eight presentations, each of between one and two hours, ideal for any music club or group of like-minded people.
