I think a biography says more about what the biographer considers important at the time rather than what they will actually be remembered for.

I'm paid to be a teacher. I've renovated a couple of houses with my wife. I've blown up a few quarries. My resting pulse is down near 44. I'd like to lose a couple of kilos.

Here are some people who will remember me:

My wife, Erin

My five kids: Jack, Noah, Harriet, Jonah and Leon.

My siblings and extras: Kent and Miriam, Bec and Dean, Liz and Tim, Ali and Leighton. My parents, Andrew and Janette

The hundreds of teenagers I have met and served over the last 20 years as an assistant dean, school chaplain, youth pastor and teacher.

The people who have read Brinn or The Door Between Worlds or seen some of the Beyond series that I wrote for.
