Is dearthóir ilmheán, forbróir gréasáin agus taighdeoir é Ronan Doherty.
Rugadh agus tógadh é ar an Charraig i nGleann Cholm Cille, Tír Chonaill. Bhain sé céim BA i Staidéar ar na Meáin agus sa Nua-Ghaeilge amach ó Ollscoil Mhá Nuad, mar a bhfuil gairm an mhic léinn shíoraí á cleachtadh aige i gcónaí. Chaith sé an bhliain acadúil 2011–12 in Ollscoil Notre Dame, Indiana, Stáit Aontaithe Mheiriceá, ar scoláireacht teagaisc teanga de chuid Choimisiún Fulbright.
Ón bhliain 2012 i leith tá sé ag plé leis an dearadh don scáileán agus don chló. Bíonn sé i mbun suímh ghréasáin, feidhmchláir ghréasáin, agus córais don fhoilsitheoireacht dhigiteach a fhorbairt fosta. Bronnadh duaiseanna ar roinnt de na saothair a dhear sé, ar n-áirítear duais Eir Spider agus ceann de Ghradaim Ríomh-rialtais na hÉireann, agus roghnaíodh ábhair chlóite dá chuid le taispeáint ag Féile Leabhar Ealaíne Bhaile Átha Cliath.
Agus é ina mhac léinn fochéime bhíodh sé ag gabháil don ghrianghrafadóireacht cheoil agus ghlac grianghraif de cheoltóirí aithnidiúla ar nós The Coronas, The Blizzards, The Saw Doctors, Kíla agus Alabama 3, mar aon le go leor ceoltóirí traidisiúnta, grianghraif a foilsíodh in irisí ceoil agus in irisí mac léinn. Ar na saolta seo bíonn grianghrafadóireacht táirge i gceist ina chuid oibre go minic ach tá dúil mhór aige sa ghrianghrafadóireacht phortráide i gcónaí.
