After an engaging 12 year career in domestic and international banking that included account management as well as product development and marketing, I entered into a full time pastoral role in 2004 in London, Ontario at North Park Community Church.
In 2015 I became the Lead Pastor at North Park overseeing all aspects of ministry at the church. Previously my roles included Small Group ministry as well as helping North Park engage with the City of London through partnering with various non-profit organizations, both faith-based and non faith-based.
In 2021, I stepped down as the Lead Pastor sensing a move to engage globally. This has involved working with churches in Europe as well as Kenya. I anticipate more of this to come.
I have always maintained a passion for life-on-life discipleship. I am forever grateful for the foundation I received while at the University of Guelph from my mentor Luch Del Monte. I believe that there is no better format for helping others to become disciples of Jesus than a few people meeting together on a regular basis, looking at scripture, praying for each other and serving together. This website is dedicated to that.
My varied educational experience has included a B.Sc (Agr) and a Masters in Business, both from the University of Guelph. From Tyndale Seminary in Toronto, I have completed a Master in Theological Studies as well as a Doctor of Ministry.
I have been married to Janice since April 1990 and we have enjoyed the experience of raising two children. We have two amazing children, a daughter-in-law, and four grandchildren.
