Ruth and I have been married for 36 years (we married young!) we have two sons, both married, and two grandchildren, Samuel and Lydia.

I became a Christian at the age of 17 following a period of classic rebellion! I was confronted with the truth that if I crashed my motorcycle (well, at that point a Honda 50cc) and died, my eternal destiny would be hell and not heaven. I gave my life to Jesus Christ who has never let me down.

Ruth has been a big influence on my life, encouraging me when I was a young Christian and keeping me on the straight and narrow now that she is my wife. Since I entered full time Christian work she has been an amazing support and partner in the work. Ruth has worked as a Counsellor since the early 90s in a Christian Counselling Centre in Northampton.

My working life began in London where I lived at the time and it took me down the route of the food industry, in particular the meat industry. Moving to Brixworth and working in Wellingborough, I became MD of a Danish meat Company. Following a period of change the Company was merged and I ended up without employment for over a year. In 1996, I was called as the Pastor of BCF having worshipped there since its inception in 1988.

How would I describe myself? Maybe the facts will tell you!

Love Sport – play golf – go to the gym – support Charlton Athletic – Chair of Governors at local school – love food – DIY when there is time – love my wife and family – enjoy meeting people and travelling. Most of these are shared by Ruth, apart from golf and at times football!

Hopes for the future?

To see people grow in their relationship with God

To see people introduced to Jesus and becoming a friend of His

To enjoy life!

To live to see Charlton win the Premier League!

To see our children and their partners continuing to serve the Lord and our grand-children knowing Jesus.
