AUTHOR
Three books.
One persistent thread of grace.
Full Phoenix Rising is the newest work: part memoir, part philosophy of grace and part glorious disaster. It’s a comedic cocktail of hope.
Vanguard and Unlikely Hero began the journey—two books speaking to Gospel Direction, and how God uses ordinary people in extraordinary ways.
Speaker & communicator.
Very Occasional Stand-Up.
For a couple of years I ran down the rabbit hole of clean comedy. Do I have a routine, yeah I sure do! Should I spend more time doing this, absolutely! Depending on the right circumstances, I’ve been known to pop up for a comedy show.
Two decades speaking in churches, conferences and live media, plus five years waking Sydney up on breakfast radio.
