Welcome to Ballymun

Growing up in Ballymun, Dublin, life was full of grit, heart, and resilience. My dad, a stone mason, and my mother, a shop owner, raised five of us in a small four-room home. Life was modest, but it was ours — and it taught me early the value of hard work, discipline, and resourcefulness

My First Dojo

Next to my mother’s shop was a small shoe store run by Martin MacNaulty — mentor, martial arts teacher, and the closest thing I had to a Mr. Miyagi. I spent countless hours there sweeping floors and restocking shelves, but more importantly, I trained. Saturdays became sacred. That’s where I learned control, structure, and the power of preparation over chaos.

Lessons from Hard Streets

Ballymun, like many working-class neighborhoods in the 1970s and ’80s, could be dangerous. One holiday, I returned home to find our house ransacked. Break-ins became more organized, more violent, and eventually armed. In September 1984, at 14, I woke to a gun in my face as intruders attacked my family. My father was injured. My mother fought to protect us and hit the panic button that sent the intruders fleeing. That night left scars I couldn’t see — and it ignited an obsession: to protect myself and those I love.

Forged in Discipline and Trades

From sweeping job sites at ten to working in shipyards at sixteen, I learned grit, endurance, and the value of skill. Travel brought me full-contact karate in New York and Muay Thai in Thailand. Every experience sharpened my understanding of discipline, strategy, and resilience.

Training for Real Threats

I trained extensively in personal protection, firearms, and tactical protocols, developing skills in high-pressure, real-world scenarios. Every exercise and discipline was focused on one principle: anticipate threats, eliminate vulnerabilities, and protect people first. These experiences shaped a mindset that is rare outside elite security circles — one that now informs every Fortress Solutions project.

Applied Expertise

Every lesson, every hardship, every dojo and job site sharpened my ability to see vulnerabilities others miss. At Fortress Solutions, we bring that same expertise to high-net-worth individuals and business owners operating in high-risk sectors. We design protective spaces, secure perimeters, and fortified environments that safeguard what matters most: people and families — before threats ever reach the door.
