For 10 years I was the Wine Guy at a great company in the UK called Naked Wines. This meant I spent most of my time hunting down the best independent winemakers and setting them up in business.

I visited every wine region on the planet scouting out gems. I spent countless hours in vineyards and wineries. I sat at many a kitchen table with winemakers and their families, trying to solve the world’s problems over delicious food and wine.

The travel was great - but by far my favourite bit was bringing these wines and stories back to the UK, and sharing them with my 250,000 customers.

Even when I moved back to Ireland in 2019 with my wife Ruth and two kids, I was able to keep the dream job going from Dublin.
