O’reilly

Born in County Cork, Ireland, Tim O’Reilly moved to Hong Kong with his family when he was a baby. He has three brothers and three sisters. As a teenager, encouraged by his older brother Sean, O’Reilly became a follower of George Simon, a writer and adherent of the general semantics program.   Through Simon, O’Reilly became acquainted with the work of Alfred Korzybski, which he has cited as a formative experience.
