Born and raised United Kingdom. I worked in banks, hairdressing salons and retail stores before serving in management positions with two international Christian organizations based in London. I came to US in 1993 at the invitation of Jews for Jesus. Served as their chief administrative officer and then as Director of Stewardship before leaving to enter the pastorate. Accepted a call to pastor Grace Bible Fellowship in Pacifica in September 2002 at the same time as beginning study at Golden Gate Baptist Seminary.

In 2006 graduated with an MDiv was invited to add the interim pastorate of Vista del mar Baptist church to my responsibilities to which I was excited to agree.

I am an active participant in The Partnership for a Safe and Healthy Pacifica, a community group committed to changing patterns of drug and alcohol abuse amongst teenagers. I also host “Awakenings”, a show on Pacifica community television featuring those for whom the Christian faith has played a significant part in recovery .

In November 2006 I was blessed beyond my wildest dreams to marry Maggie, a teacher from San Diego, now working in Foster City. It has been such a joy for my two sons Robert and John and I to welcome her into our home and family. Together we look forward to seeing God continue to reveal His mysterious and marvelous ways here in Pacifica.
