Chicago, Illinois, United States

I was born and raised in Galway, Ireland. I now live in Chicago, USA. I work in advertising. I come up with ideas for selling things. Being highly impressionable and no stranger to temptation has proved invaluable to me professionally. My biggest claim to fame is being the guy who once saw a short film and said to himself "You know, that could make a great Budweiser ad". Turned out I was spectacularly right. The film featured a group of African-American pals shouting "Wassup!" to each other over the phone. I now have my own advertising agency. It's called The Escape Pod. We like to think our ideas are noticeably better than our competitors. That's our "positioning" as we say in marketing. Visit our website and see if you don't agree. www.theescapepod.com. I am married with three children. Fun facts: My first job upon coming to America was driving a carriage round Central Park in New York....at night! I once got drunk with Ludacris. I have been nominated for an Emmy twice. And lost both times. So at this point, I really don't want an Emmy. OK, I do actually.
