I grew up in Finaghy and after school I served in the Royal Navy for eight years before leaving and taking up several roles in the Pharmaceutical Industry. Over time I came to realise that the gifts that God had given me could be used to equip others for his service and so began a period of discernment that lasted two years, culminating in me being selected for training at Trinity Theological College in Bristol.

I was ordained in June 2008 and then moved back to Belfast for the next part of the adventure that is being God’s disciple. I am married to Linda and have five children; Hannah, Joe, Sam, Ben and Mia. My prayer is that God will work through me to further the advancement of his kingdom rule here on earth.
