Started as hotel trainee-manager but at college studied construction; worked in Amsterdam as owner/manager/worker small construction/decoration company 18 years we renovated a lot of old canal-house fronts (and boats) I spent some time working with the Rosenstock-Huessy House in Haarlem NL which influenced me in later life I also played music in a traditional Irish band; Sin É and helped run events in clubs/cafés.
Returned to Ireland with my Dutch wife, Els, in 1998 to run tourist business. Owner/manager of B&B and self-accommodation apartment - all specialised in eco-friendly construction and management Passed the ISO14001 and won the E.U.

Further to that I've passed with Merit 1 a BSc in Small Medium Enterprise at WIT and GreenBelt; LEAN/SIGMA-6 at CIT, Cork as well as Computerised Management Accounting. I've also certificates in Building Energy Ratings (BER-new-build), green-build, eco-unesco and green tourism operator and O.U. studies in Eco-sustainability.
Specialities: Considered a natural at conflict resolution and as facilitator. I'm a great communicator and I tend to get (and keep) enthusiastic about my projects
While I love working in tourism and would love to help run a small hotel or alternately work with people as coach/HR; eco-waste procedures are something I'm especially interested in, this would help me make savings in such an establishment.
I've spoken on eco-living at events in Newfoundland, Germany, Wales and Ireland I would describe myself as a musician & entertainer: a coach and a facilitator. I love to help people find the best in themselves. Currently studying QQI-8 Certificate in Business Development course at AIT hoping to get into HR.
