I grew up in rural New Zealand. Having a faith in Jesus was taught to me by my mother and grandad who, not only read the Bible to me, but demonstrated their faith by their words and actions. I completed my theology degree in Auckland and then my masters degree from Sydney Missionary and Bible College. I also taught English in Xi’an, China before serving in churches in New Zealand, NSW, and now here as the Lead English Pastor at AACC. I have a wife, Amy, who is from the Philippines and and our son Aidan was born at the end of 2020 after pregnancy complications, trying to change countries, and the challenges of having a baby in the middle of a pandemic. My hobbies include playing and watching sport, exploring new countries, and trying to make my nephews and nieces laugh.

I grew up in Hong Kong and moved to Australia for university education. I made a decision to follow Jesus when I was in year 7. Since then, I experienced the countless grace and wonder of God.

Before I was called to ministry to serve God full time, I worked as a medical scientist in the pathology laboratories for a few years. The scriptures which inspire and motivate me greatly are Ephesians 1:17-19. It is my pleasure and honour to serve God in my life and I know the greatest hope in which God has called me.  I completed my theology degree at the University of Divinity and Perth Morling College in 2022. I am now doing a Master degree at the Bible College of South Australia.

I moved to Adelaide in February 2023 from Perth and took up a role as a youth pastor. I am excited for the next journey in serving God at AACC and for the opportunity to share Jesus with others. My passion is to serve the young generation and to see their lives be transformed by the love of Jesus Christ.

Some of my favourite things to do are reading, cooking, listening to music, playing musical instruments, watching movies, and meeting up with new friends.
