About me

I used to build and repair houses as a builder and often I would try to save people from their building nightmares. Now I try to help them build their lives on an intentional Christian spirituality that engages with life, their relationships, their mind and their body. This emphasis developed in response to becoming burnt out after 6 yrs of intensive ministry. I then left ministry and for the next 8 yrs worked back in my trade as a carpenter and became a licensed builder here in Melbourne, Victoria (Australia). During this time I recovered and worked on developing an intentional Christian spirituality which has a contemplative focus.  This has allowed me to integrate body with spirit, mind and heart, prayer and work. 

I moved back into ministry at the beginning of 2008 when the Anglican Church ordained me. I trained as a spiritual director (part-time) over a four year period and have been offering it as part of my ministry for the past three years.

I have been married for 27 years and have three children: a girl aged in her 20’s, a boy 17 and another girl 15 years old.
