He lives with his family on their farm in Carrigdarrery, County Cork. The Time Being was published by The Gallery Press in 2021 and was shortlisted for The Seamus Heaney First Collection Poetry Prize.

His second collection, Long Distance, published in April 2024, reveals the deepening impression of a poet who is both chronicler of all that fades and passes.
