Our People

I started my adventure here as Minister back in September 2007 having spent four years as a curate in an inner-city Anglican church in Bradford. Prior to that I used to work in international development.

I’m married to Jo, who originally trained and worked in London as a textile designer, then became full-time mum to our three, now grown up children and now works in children’s social care.

As a family we’ve lived in Zimbabwe, Uganda and Tanzania. Life has been wonderfully varied! I became a Christian in Zimbabwe when I was 19 and have been involved in a variety of churches over the years from house churches and Anglican cell churches in the UK, to the Anglican Cathedral in Kampala and the International Baptist Church in Dar es Salaam.

I studied Anthropology and Development Studies at Swansea and Sussex universities and theology at Wycliffe Hall, University of Oxford. I used to love long distance running and tennis but arthritis has got the better of my hips so now I mainly road bike and swim. I also have a great love for the outdoors.

I am from Reading and have been part of the team at Trinity since 2018. Coming from Youth With A Mission I was first our Youth Worker. Now married with a daughter and ‘associated’ with more of what we do here, I would say my time at Trinity has been completely life-changing! I love working with a local charity- Just Around the Corner – in our local school, plotting silly games and encouraging people just how fully Jesus loves them!
