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.
