I’m a proud and passionate Novocastrian [that’s a resident of Newcastle, NSW, Australia] and have always had a love for words and pictures! I am seeking to bring these together in thebloggingpilgrim.com as I seek to capture and celebrate life through stories and images.

I’m a former journalist and have also served as a Minister in Baptist Churches. I now work in a management role for a large NFP care organisation, with a focus on offering hope to people living with disadvantage.

I’m married to Megan and we have a “Brady Bunch” family with eight children aged from 24 to 2.

Life is full … there is rarely a dull moment … and like you there are great days and there are tough ones. That’s the stuff of real life … and I hope to capture the joy, beauty, uncertainty, messiness and mystery of life in this blog.
