Niall Doherty's dot com

Niall Doherty was born, raised and educated in Ireland. His first name is pronounced like the river. (You know, the big one.) He has been living and working in New Orleans since 2007. He’s somewhat obsessed with personal development, believing that working towards self-mastery makes the world a better place and the individual a happier person. His life purpose is to be the best person he can be, and to help and inspire others to do the same. In 2010, he’s making a decisive move towards minimalism, quitting his day job and starting his own location independent business.
