My first hospice post was with Dove House, Hull, in 1999. This was part-time, alongside pastoring an independent evangelical church, until I went full-time in 2003 combining chaplaincy with staff development, and then moved to Highland Hospice in 2005. Working in Palliative Care has challenged most of my beliefs, strengthening those that matter most, and teaching me to be comfortable with theological loose ends!


I’m married to Carol (an Environmental Health Officer), and we stay on the Black Isle in Ross-shire, in a small farmhouse with just enough land for some hens and a couple of pigs. We've spent a lot of time rebuilding much of the house, but look forward to more time in the hills with boots, camera and fishing rods... I also enjoy history, reading, Celtic music (especially the Peatbog Faeries), supporting Ross County and the local church. We have two sons and one daughter-in-law who live in England.
