Conor attended Emanuel School from 1990-1997. He went to Newcastle University where he studied Politics and Economics. Whilst there, he was an active member of the Swimming and Water Polo Club, which included being their treasurer.

After graduation, Conor did a variety of jobs before deciding to train as a lawyer, qualifying in 2005. In 2006, he and 5 friends swam the English Channel as a relay, raising money for St Oswald’s Hospice in Newcastle. In 2015 he took part in an organised swim across the Solent.

Conor specialised in immigration law and, after working in various firms, found his home in Kingsley Napley where he was extremely happy for a number of years. Tragically his career was cut short by an aggressive brain tumour and he died in April 2023.

Conor leaves his parents, 3 older siblings and a huge number of close friends.
