I’ve had the great privilege of serving in youth ministry for thirteen years now. I’ve served in the poorest city in the States, the richest neigbourhood in Scotland, as well as more typical middle class settings. All my experiences has been working for multiple churches while working in collaborative ministry settings, and I have had an amazing time throughout these years.

I have been blessed in seeing God time and time again being faithful:  growing the ministries I have been associated with, changing the lives of teenagers, reaching the unchurched and strengthening the churches. I have also been blessed personally in these times. I now have a wonderful wife Amanda, as well as four great children: Ainsleigh, Baeleigh, Sophie and Liam.

As a family, we have recently started a new chapter in our lives here in New Zealand. God calling us to New Zealand was quite a shock, but since arriving we have had nothing apart from positive experiences. I am stoked to be here, and excited to see what God is up to.
