How did you learn about Art of Hosting (please add the date and place) and what attracted you to it?

I connected with it at ALIA in 2007 - I was particularly attracted by the metaphor of AoH being the operating system below a set of methodologies.

Tell us about your experience with Art of Hosting as part of your life and work. What would you say your competence in it is? (new, starting practitioner, experienced practitioner, steward)

I called and co-hosted the first (and so far only) AoH in Ireland in May 2008. We had a great time and the ripples still ripple (or do whatever else it is that ripples do).

I am an experienced practitoner in the sense that I have done a lot of things and I know I am a beginner too.

What is the primary field/topic/focus in your hosting work?

I do a lot of work around sustainability / growing resilient systems.

Where do you live/work?

Mostly Ireland

Are there interests/passions that you'd like to share?

I have a particular interest in how we can best infect / influence the practices of large numbers of people - as well as being part of a smaller number who are busy pushing the boundaries / connecting the pieces / deepening etc
