I am married to Mary and have two children and another on the way. I'm a 'PK'- my dad is an Anglican minister in Sydney.

I graduated from Sydney University with a Bachelor of Arts and a Masters of Urban and Regional Planning. Having turned away from the faith of my parents during my teenage years, I committed to following Jesus while in first year university.

After working for three years as a town planner in a number of local councils around New South Wales, I commenced working as a policy adviser and lobbyist in transport and infrastructure for a business representative organisation. During this time I also broke all the rules of flatmate etiquette and married my flatmate, Mary. Mary has a degree in complementary medicine and massage therapy.

After five years at the NSW Chamber of Commerce and rising to the position of general manager, I had had enough of the 'big end of town' and resigned to go to Bible college. While there God blessed us with wonderful Patrick.

After completing three years at Sydney Missionary and Bible College, we moved to Hobart for Mark to commence as the Children, Youth and Families Minister at Holy Trinity, Hobart. Since we've been in Tassie, God has blessed us with a beautiful daughter and we are currently expecting another baby. I am especially passionate about children coming to know Jesus and surviving the teenage years by sticking with him.
