I was brought up in central Scotland and by the Lord’s grace was saved at a young age. My wife Janet was brought up in the North East of England and also came to know the Lord very early in life. We were married in 1983 and have served the Lord here in the North East of England since 1990. Our main focus has been the local assembly and through it, special outreach to homeless people, in the local prison, and the building up of the local church testimony. 

We have one son and five (so far) grandchildren. They live in the west of Scotland.
