Author Bio:
Daron Sheehan grew up in the United Kingdom around the Chilterns countryside, near London. In 2006, at the age of 36, after a successful career as an accountant and investment manager, Daron Sheehan took a career sabbatical. He spent this period engaging in a range of adventure expeditions, charitable and educational projects in wild natural space across Europe, South Africa and the Middle East.
This three year sabbatical, spent sharing the pains and passions of a group of inspirational characters from a wide range of cultural backgrounds, helped formulate many of the ideas behind his first book The Socrates Project.
After reading a translation of Victor Hugo‘s novel “Les Misérables“, Daron decided to learn French in his early twenties. His love for the French culture and language motivated him to write The Socrates Project in both English and French, assisted by two French-speaking journalists.
Daron is married with three children and enjoys rock climbing, snow sports, cycling, running and sailing. In 2009, inspired by his sabbatical years to help solve environmental and social challenges, Daron returned to the investment industry to create a responsible investment venture.
