​Meet Declan

​An engineer by profession, Declan has lived and worked across Europe, the United States, and Asia throughout his career in technology.

​Declan joined Toastmasters 12 years ago and has been an active member of up to four clubs. He is currently a member of two clubs.

​His Toastmasters leadership experience includes serving as Area Director for Area B4 in 2025–2026 and previously as Area Director for Area B1 in 2019–2020. He was also nominated “Toastmaster of the Year” for 2025–2026 — who knew?!

​Declan has coached and mentored multiple clubs and served in various officer roles within his member clubs. He believes Toastmasters provides a safe environment to practice new communication and leadership skills — essentially, a “learning laboratory.”

​Since 2018, Declan has delivered 150 workshops across 16 different topics to more than 3,000 Toastmasters.

​And finally, Declan is a two-time Distinguished Toastmaster (DTM) and is currently working toward his third DTM.
