Cormac began his career managing Kennedy's Equine Centre, his family's stud and competion stable in County Kerry in Ireland. There he played a vital role in turning the facility into one of the country's largest producers of Irish Sport Horses. Early in his Career, Cormac also gained valueable experience while working at the National Stud in France and with Jan Greve in Holland.

Since moving to the United States, Cormac has worked as rider, trainer, and show manager at several equestrian facilities in New England. He also competes his own showjumping horses as well as those belonging to a number of private clients. Cormac always has a number of horses for sale for both the professional and amatuer rider.
