IMG_0366I'm a Christian and a family man who has spent the last 20 years working primarily in Information Technology, most recently for Microsoft in New Zealand.  In 2010 I left my career in IT in order to train for pastoral ministry.

I recently finished studying toward a Bachelor of the Arts in Biblical Counseling at the Masters College.  I am now studying at the Masters Seminary toward a Master of Divinity.

When I've completed this my family and I expect to return to New Zealand in order to work to build the church.  At this stage we don't have a set location or destination, but we appreciate your prayers.

You can keep up to date with what I'm learning by following my posts below.

We welcome your prayer and support!
