I was born and brought up in the Black Country of the West Midlands. I worked in the hotel industry for a couple of years then worked for 26 years in the wine trade, moving to the West Wales coast in 1995. In 2015, I left my job and went to St Michael’s College in Llandaff to train to be a priest. After completing my Bth (Hons) in 2018, I went back to north Wales for my curacy in Betws-y-Coed and then came to Llanharan and Brynna in May 2021. I am a member of the Society of Catholic Priests (SCP), you can find more information about them here.I am also the Interim Area Dean for Eglwysilan Deanery.I live with my wife Belinda who is also a priest.
