Elected as a Westmeath county councillor on his second attempt in 2009, he has been a member of the council since. An accountant by profession, he has twice ran unsuccessfully for a Dáil seat. He is a member of a number of committees and boards and is involved with local community organisations in his area.

I have served employers and workers alike as a Chartered Accountant in practice in Mullingar and want to bring the experience gained in that sector to national politics to improve my constituency.

Ensure Mullingar gets a Government TD to peruse policies to encourage strong enterprises to provide the resources to invest in our public services.
