[edit] Education
He was educated at St Mary's Christian Brothers' Grammar School, Belfast and at Queen's University of Belfast (QUB).
[edit] Professional activities
From 2002-2004 he served as President of the Royal Society of Ulster Architects (RIBA Northern Ireland) and in 2005 he served as Ulster representative to the RIAI.
His presidency was characterised by a concerted effort to tap into the political paradigm and power shifts in Northern Ireland and transfer some of that to the RSUA. In this context, moves were made towards establishing Irish as a working language of the Society. Links were also forged with architectural organisations in the other Celtic nations[citation needed].
In addition he is architectural correspondent for the Irish Republican Daily Ireland newspaper, which forms part of the Andersonstown News Group of newspapers.
[edit] Built works and accolades
Important works include the Bunscoil an Sleibh Dúbh and the Kinnaird Street office building, both in Belfast. Works by his office have been awarded various prizes from the RIBA, RIAI and AAI.
A gallery devoted to his works is situated at 2 Kinnaird Street, Belfast.
