I have been a Christian most of my life and worked with Youth With A Mission UK (YWAM) and various churches over the years, some paid positions, but mostly volunteer roles.

Over the years, I have been involved in pastoral care, discipleship, prayer ministry, preaching/teaching and evangelism. I have worked with or been part of churches across the denominations from Anglican and Methodist to many of the newer church networks and independent churches. I am currently part of a leadership team at a Baptist Church in Exeter, Devon, where I support our pastor, preach/teach, co-lead a prayer ministry team and co-lead a homegroup.

Initially training as a primary school teacher, I have spent most of my working life in accountancy – the last 20+ years alongside my wife running our own accountancy and bookkeeping practice. We specialised in providing accountancy and bookkeeping support to Christian charities and churches. Now recently retired, I have opportunity to build on much of the Christian training I have received over the years and to provide a coaching, mentoring and spiritual direction service to other Christian believers and leaders.

In my spare time, I love a good read, am an enthusiastic follower of Somerset County Cricket Club and follow both football and snooker.
