I live close to the beach in central Bournemouth with my wife, Debi, three children and an over-enthusiastic dog. I’m a keen environmentalist. Adventure and endurance sports help me enjoy creation, connect to God and keep fit. I used to be an academic, then chartered accountant, before becoming a priest (CofE). I’ve co-founded several charities, including Spear Bournemouth which assists disadvantaged young people back into employment, education and training.“Love God, love people and love life” is my creed. I believe good relationships - with God and people - are crucial to success in life. I published my personal story in “LOVECHURCH: Join the Adventure of Hope”. I’m a fan of laughter, cake and Tottenham Hotspur FC.
