I was born and bred in Christchurch and relocated to New Plymouth, where I was ordained in 1995. I moved to Auckland shortly after when Sue and I married. We have a family of three, the eldest Tim is an aircraft engineer (currently a propulsion engineer at Rocketlab) our middle son Hamish is a commercial pilot (working in Queenstown) and our daughter Georgia (Geo) who is working in event planning after completing a commerce degree.

I served my curacy in the parishes of New Plymouth and Ellerslie-Mt Wellington before moving overseas to Melbourne as Associate Priest in the Parish of South Yarra. Upon return to Auckland, I was appointed Vicar of Royal Oak, then Vicar of Remuera.

A relocation to Christchurch in 2017 was a move home to familiar territory. It is great to lead this warm, friendly and progressive Anglican Community of Faith.
