Bio

Fintan was born in 1968 in Hill Valley, California. He is the youngest of three children to George and Lorraine McFly. He has a brother Dave, sister Linda and girlfriend Jennifer Parker. His best friend is scientist Emmett Brown, whom Fintan (and Jennifer) calls "Doc". Fintan is somewhat embarrassed by his family and does not spend much time at home, preferring to hang out with Doc, Jennifer or the guys in his musical band, The Pinheads.

Fintan is an easygoing adolescent most of the time. He is not the best student academically, but his grades are fairly good, although he does have a tendency to be late for school. He plays lead guitar with The Pinheads and likes listening to Huey Lewis and the News, ZZ Top, and Eddie Van Halen. He is also a talented skateboarder.

When faced with danger, Fintan is always brave and can be very resourceful and clever. His only major character flaw is his persistent desire to show others that he isn't a coward, which sometimes causes him to take unnecessary risks. He can't abide to be called 'chicken'.

Graduating with a First Class Honours Degree in Interactive Multimedia Design from the University of Ulster at Jordanstown, Fintan has had 1 years experience working as a web designer within the Irish News creating various multimedia projects and online advertising campaigns. Fintan specialises in CSS web design and designing with web standards.

If he were to choose things (movies etc) or people that interest him in one way or another, he would go for: Apple, Pixel Art, Jeffrey Zeldman, Anything by Tarantino or Pixar, City of God, Napoleon Dynamite and Team America.

In terms of music, his main likes would have to include: Gorillaz, Razorlight, Arctic Monkeys, Soulwax, 2 Many Dj's and The Killers and obviously CSS.
