About Me

Hello. I am an artist and musician. I play mandolin and guitar, as well as the Irish Tenor banjo and fiddle. I studied Fine Art here in Ireland and now work as a projectionist at a movie theater in South County Dublin. I'm a great handyman, who is able to fix just about anything. I like to garden, cook, and read. I'm also great window washer, floor, bath and tile cleaner. I have an artistic temperament, I like to work quietly alone. I'm shy, but I like to have a laugh and tease.
