Rodney grew up County Wicklow, Ireland, until his mother moved to London with him and his siblings. From early on he travelled around a lot. Backwards and forwards to Ireland: Galway, and later Cork. A Buddhist group in Leicester. Glasgow. Rodney started writing in the early 1990s when in Cork. Being dyslexic, he began messing around with wordplay poems. He started writing plays in 2004, when he was involved with the Cork Arts Theatre. It was then that he wrote Over The Top and Birds Still Fly (also published by Amaurea Press, in Two Plays of War and Peace). He has continued writing since, with performances of his plays in Ireland, London, Scotland and Australia. He is currently based in London.
