I'm a part-time pastor in the Christian Reformed Churches of Australia. I hold a Bachelor of Theology from the Australian College of Theology and a Bachelor of Divinity from the Reformed Theological College in Geelong, Victoria, Australia.

I'm also a Linux kernel developer, the author of the Suspend2 hibernation patch.

Prior to studying for the ministry, I completed a Bachelor of Commerce and post-graduate Diploma in Commerce in the areas of Management Science and Management of Information Systems at the Universities of Canterbury (Christchurch, New Zealand) and Dunedin (New Zealand).
