At the 2004 local elections he stood unsuccessfully for Navan Town Council, and for the Navan electoral area of Meath County Council.[2] He was co-opted onto the Navan Town Council in November 2007, and held that seat at the 2009 local elections, when he was again unsuccessful in the County Council election.[2]

He is a business consultant and Chairperson of the Save Navan Hospital Campaign. He has a degree in Economics and Politics from University College Dublin (UCD).
