I was born in Bexhill in Sussex where I went to primary school and did a year at high school before our family moved to Norfolk in 1999. There I went to Flegg High School and East Norfolk Sixth Form College before leaving Norfolk i 2005 to do a gap-year in Peterborough.

I’ve learnt how to play music from a young age, starting keyboard lessons at primary school and drum lessons at secondary before .buying myself a guitar and teaching myself guitar when I was 17 (and consequently bass)

Throughout all these years I always went along to church with my parents and discovered how boring church can be, however when we moved to Norfolk although church was boring I started going to After 8′s Youth Group and decided that this Christian thing was something I truly believed and wanted to take seriously…as I entered college I met a few people who went to another youth group and I started going to that too where I learnt more about God and began to work out what giving everything to God actually meant…at the same time I felt God nudging me towards Youth Work….so I applied to do a gap year and in September 2005 moved to Peterborough to work for Park Road Baptist Church.

Towards the end of my gap year I was accepted onto the Oasis Youth Work & Ministry course and Park Road Baptist Church applied to keep me as their youthworker throughout the degree spending part my time doing a degree and the rest of my time doing youth work.

In August 2009 I moved to South Cave (Hull) having accepted the position as Youth Facilitator working for the Hunsley Christian Youth Trust which is a new youth/schools work initiative set up by rural parishes outside of Hull.

On the 17th July 2010 I got married to Joanna at St Andrew’s Church in Gorleston and we now both live in South Cave. Jo is training to be a teacher.

My blog started off as a place of randomness joining people like Ben who already blogged and has developed into a place of thinking….this site is the latest stage in my blog life because it allows me to merge my music, photos and thoughts/ponderings into one place.

I hope you enjoy my blog & music.
