I was born in Scotland in 1950. Two years later I moved to Lisburn where I grew up and went to school. I stayed in school a seriously long time - becoming a teacher! In the 1980's I lived in Paddington land - Peru - involved in church planting, initiating aid projects etc. before being 'evicted' (due to terrorist activity in 1991. I arrived at Willowfield in 1996 and have been here since - preaching, teaching, pastoring and coordinating Besom. I share a lovely home with friend Sally and dogs Molly and Roly. I enjoy planning walks with them - just need to do it more! I love reading, writing, films and holidays when I can get away. My latest hobby involves dolls' houses - I have 2 - largely bare and needing attention - if only there was more time!

My big passion in life is Jesus - belonging to him, being him and bringing him to others.
