After completing a degree in pharmaceutical science, he was a member of the first intake of medical students in UL in 2007, and graduated with honours in 2011.

He now works in Beacon Hospital and University Hospital Limerick. He provides clinic services in Beacon Limerick, and complex structural interventions are performed through Beacon Hospital in Dublin.
