I am a recent arrival in Long Eaton coming from my last church in Lewisham where I also served as a governor at my previous parish's church school. It is a great privilege to be able to support such a wonderful school and also lead worship with the pupils and staff.

I am the Priest-in-Charge of St Laurence's Church, Long Eaton and also Holy Trinity, Ilkeston. During my previous ministry, I was the lead for our emerging children's and youth ministry following the Covid-19 pandemic. During my time in this role I especially enjoyed taking our young people camping in Norfolk and getting to know their needs and ideas of how the Church could best serve them. 

Before ordination I studied Drama and Performance at university where I met my wife Hannah and then during training for the priesthood, completed a degree in Theology. I also worked at a number of Churches including Saint Albans Cathedral where I regularly worked with visiting schools in the Education Centre. In 2024, Hannah and I welcomed our first child, Cecilia. In my free time I enjoy attending live music events and the occasional wrestling show!"

I am proud to have served as a governor for St Laurence since 2017. Previously I have served as a governor at 4 different schools in the last 15 years and am  passionate about governance, especially in church schools. It is an honour to see the tremendous amount of hard work and commitment from all staff in their efforts to make St Laurence as good as it can be.

Away from St. Laurence, I am a headteacher at an inner city primary school in Derby. I am married, have 3 children to fill my spare time and enjoy watching and playing Football, with Newcastle United being my team. My primary passion is music and it is my life’s work to ensure I own as many records and CDs as it is possible to fit in my spare room.

I have been a governor since February 2015, although I have enjoyed being a governor at other local schools in the past.  The role involves supporting staff and volunteers as they work with pupils in this wonderful church school, this is a privilege.

I trained as a teacher and taught for many years in a church school in Nottingham, but am now a qualified youth worker and safeguarding trainer, I also volunteer at St Laurence’s open youth club as often as I can.  Hobbies include following Nottingham Forest and on a happier note I am actively involved in amateur dramatics with Long Eaton Operatic Society and The Arcade Players.
