Born in Dublin,Ireland,and raised in a bilingual Gaelic household, he secured a scholarship to study Medicine at University College Dublin.

Choosing to specialise in children's medicine, he trained in Dublin,Liverpool,and then Kingston,Canada.

His training,teaching,and pediatric practice have aroused his interest in medical beliefs- some based more on myth,than fact. He has drawn this to the attention of colleagues through Continuing Medical Education Programmes, and his membership of medical organisations.
