I grew up in Blackheath in South East London before moving to Gloucester in 2005. After a time working as a teaching assistant I then was appointed as Minister-in-Training at Kendal Road Baptist Church while I trained at South Wales Baptist College in Cardiff.

In 2018 I moved to Stevenage to become the Associate Minister of Bunyan Baptist before moving to Yardley and taking up the role of sole Minister at Yardley in January 2023.

I'm married to Andy and we have three grown-up children. In my spare time I love to journal and enjoy having a go at all things creative. More recently on Saturday mornings, as long as it's not too cold or wet, I can be found at my closest Parkrun and, as and when time allows, I like to get out for a walk or explore National Trust properties.

This or that?

• Chinese or Indian food?
  I like Chinese food but definitely prefer a curry - something with chicken preferably accompanied by a tarka dal and Bombay potatoes!
• Football or rugby?
  Rugby all the way - I remain an ardent fan of the Cherry and Whites (aka Glawster!)
• Tea or coffee?
  Tea is my preference. If you're asking - I take it strong, white and no sugar thanks! But I am also known to enjoy a caramel latte or cappuccino around 11am.
