I was born in Exeter and worked in the NHS as a Speech & Language Therapist for 25 years before being called to the Ministry. My previous pastorates were in Essex but I moved to become minister of the West Leicestershire Resource Area of United Reformed Churches in November 2022. I am based at Groby, where I live, and also lead Churches in Braunstone, Enderby and at St Stephen’s, besides Christ Church. I am married to Jill and we have two daughters and a son and in 2023 acquired a granddaughter. On my days off – usually Fridays – Jill and I enjoy walks in the Leicestershire countryside.
