My journey into full time pastoral ministry began in the mid 90’s when I was a member and lay leader at St Johns Southbank Melbourne, whilst working full time as a manager for a small business training organisation. As I encountered God through His word and His community I was encouraged to consider pastoral ministry as the focus for my life. After completing studies and being ordained, in 2005 I was appointed pastor for the newly formed Northern Tasmanian Lutheran Parish, serving the people of Launceston, Devonport and Burnie. In 2009 I began serving the Portland-Heywood Lutheran Church (Victoria) which also included a school.   In 2016 I accepted the call to serve Sydney through St Paul’s Lutheran Church – Sydney and our sister congregation Redeemer Lutheran Church – Northern Beaches.

I am married to Veronica, and we are blessed with 3 children, Mercedes, Zackary and Brooke and enjoy the challenge of exploring life with them in their teenage years. Having been strongly influenced by a community focussed father, I love helping people grow and connect with each other, especially in a Christian context.  

I would love to catch up with you, to have a coffee with you, to discover more about you and how God is working through you and to discover with you how God can continue to help and encourage you.
