I was born in Edmonton, Canada and lived there until the age of 5. I have since lived in the Moss Vale area for about 17 years.  I grew up working in my parents furniture factory, learning all about maintaining and repairing timber. At Capernwray I serve in two roles, both as a cook and also on the maintenance team as a property handy man, taking care of plumbing, furniture and general maintenance. I have never attended Capernwray as a student, however, I have been serving here since early 2011 and I also spent a short period of time volunteering at Capernwray New Zealand.  Having been raised by a Christian Mum, I always knew about Jesus, but didn't trust Him personally until I was about 17, when a good friend showed me how much I truly am loved by God.  With the love I have found in Him, I have grown and been challenged in many ways. I love a good adventure outdoors, a well-timed joke and showing the students what a real cup of coffee tastes like!
