Originally from Adelaide, I moved to Kent when I was 15. I studied in Leeds and in Manchester, where I met my wife, Katherine. We have settled in the Heatons area and have three wonderful children.
Even though I studied music at college, I went on to work with my father-in-law doing a variety of building projects including plumbing, electrics, joinery, building, and decorating. I am now looking after the maintenance of the NTC campus. I became a Christian as a child and was baptised on Easter Sunday at Emmanuel Community Church, Didsbury, in 2018
