TV and Film
I have been involved both as talent (ie the athlete) or on the production side of TV and Filmmaking for over 20 film projects. From commercials for Ford to full length features for Red Bull Media House, chasing absurd dreams and creating content often go hand-in-hand.

Speaking
I've been fortunate to live a ridiculously adventure-filled life. Through my expeditions and all the years of captaining a sailboat around the world I've built up a proper Irish-style arsenal of stories and love to share them with small to large audiences.

Expeditions
If I'm not planning something rad that has never been done I start getting pretty antsy. It's actually my job to come up with absurd ideas and pull them off.

Episode 193- “The Scariest Flight of my Life” with Nikolay Lipko
There are times in a pilots career when things do not go according to plan. This is one of those times. Nikolay Lipko had a rather unusual (but not unheard-of) event flying in Chamonix, France that thankfully ended quite well thanks to a successful reserve deployment. As with all incidents, there is hindsight and modifications to how to take to the skies. And if anything else, this story is a case study for why SIV training is so important. In this instance your host and our guest don’t see eye-to-eye on the cause and effect but the take-aways are valuable.
