After studying linguistics and history, he worked for a large medical technology company for seven years and as a freelance translator on the side. He has been the lead pastor at CCF since 2016. He loves theology - especially of the church/community, as well as practical life and the kingdom of God - and church history. In his spare time he loves spending time with his family at the beach - or exploring a new city, watching Australia play rugby and enjoying a strong, black coffee - without sugar. Most of all, as a pastor, he loves having the opportunity to spend time with people in conversation about Jesus, His church, His kingdom and what it means to follow Him.
