Qualifications gained as an Instrumentation Technician within the Petrochemical Industry provided Steve with essential knowledge about the measurement of environment processes including; temperature, pressure, flow and sound: Later, he qualified as a Registered Nurse. His career choices and a lot of time spent in haunted buildings, investigating claims of ghosts (and making of few mistakes along the way)  has given Steve an invaluable set of skills that he can bring to bear in the search for answers and (occasionally) explanations

After a brief but unsatisfactory time spent with a couple of local Ghost hunting groups he co-founded Para.Science; described by Dr. Ciarán O’Keeffe as “Undoubtedly the leading haunting investigation group in the world. Para.Science is recognised by its peers and academic professionals for the high quality and strict adherence to a sound methodology  in all its investigations and associated research.

Ghosts, Hauntings, Poltergeists and related phenomena occupy much of his time - in the form of both research and investigation. Steve also continues his focus on Infrasound and its associations with paranormal phenomena and has recently completed an experiment that demonstrates the Orb Phenomenon has a mundane rather than paranormal explanation.

Steve can also draw upon an extensive media experience and has appeared and advised on many TV and Radio programmes including those for the BBC, The Discovery Channel together many other UK and international broadcasters. He has also contributed to many books, magazines and journals over the years, working alongside some of the leading International Academic Parapsychology Departments.

He is a member of The Spontaneous Case Committee for The Society for Psychical Research and an Advisor for The Ghost Club.
