I founded GoldCore more than 10 years ago and it has been my passion and a huge part of my life ever since. I strongly believe that due to the significant macroeconomic and geopolitical risks of today, saving and investing a portion of one’s wealth in gold bullion is both wise and prudent.

I have been an Executive Director in GoldCore since its foundation and today I am Marketing and Research Director.

As our customer base grew both domestically and internationally we were receiving a steady stream of requests from our clients and wider public for detailed analysis of the precious metals market. To meet this demand, I stepped into the Research Director’s role and am responsible for helping to inform and educate our clients and followers on how to protect and grow their wealth through owning gold and silver bullion.

I have a B.A. in History and Greek and Roman Civilisation from University College Dublin and this gives me an insight and a prism with which to view today’s turbulent world. I contribute to media internationally and take part in the Reuters, CNBC and Bloomberg gold and precious metal surveys. I am proud of the fact that we are now acknowledged experts on precious metals and our research is respected as informative and enlightening. We correctly warned about mortgage and debt bubbles in Ireland, the UK and the U.S. in 2005 and 2006 prior to the bubbles bursting.

Today, I am concerned that we have not learnt our lessons, we are repeating the same mistakes as before and there will be similar negative consequences for the unprepared.
