I was born in Glasgow in 1965 and lived there before the family moved to Sheffield, where I committed my life to Christ in 1983. After leaving High school I worked as a sports centre attendant for two years.
In 1986 I began formal theology training. After three years at the Bible training Institute I graduated with a diploma in theology in 1989. I met my Janice in 1984 and we were married in 1987. We lived in Glasgow for the first few years of married life before heading south to live and work in Luton where I was an assistant Pastor in Hightown Baptist church.
We remained there for three years and our eldest son Euan was born there. For nine years I was the Pastor of Currie Baptist church on the outskirts of Edinburgh. Murray our youngest son was born during this time.
My passions after Jesus, my wife and family, are Basketball (I coach and still try to play) football (I watch and play when I can) and food both preparing and eating.
