Dwyers of Mary Street ran for 15 years from 1989 to 2004 in its backstreet location in an old RIC barracks in Waterford City.
Over the years, despite its backstreet location, Dwyers managed to attract such luminaries as Andrew Lloyd Webber, Drew Barrymore and Jean Kennedy-Smith to its tables.
The restaurant met with continued success and even after 14 years of work in the kitchen in 2003 in the "Time Out" guide, John Mc Kenna said of Martins cooking that "the fleetness of flavour seems more like the work of a kid newly intoxicated by the possibilities of cheffing".
Dwyer's IT team also plays a critical role in ensuring a smooth transition from a technology perspective for all new companies that join the NRT family via mergers and acquisitions.
Prior to joining NRT, Dwyer was senior vice president of enterprise computing for UnumProvident, a major insurance company based in Chattanooga, Tenn. Before that, he was a CIO for a publishing company, a senior consulting executive at Ernst and Young specializing in mergers and acquisitions, and a division director at Lockheed Martin.
Dwyer is a graduate of the University of Central Florida and is a past board member of the Johns Hopkins Graduate School of Studies in Baltimore, Md. He and his wife, Patti, reside in Baltimore.
