About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To share that life is full of joy, thanks to God

ABOUT ME

Hi all, I'm from Australia, and born and bred in Sydney, and has lived in Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Brisbane for uni (5 yrs in Brissy), and then in Sydney and Perth. Spent about a year in the UK, and lived in Leicester, Northern Ireland where I met my wife and a few places near London. My wife and I and my 2 kids have lived in Sweden 7 years. I have learnt Swedish and have worked in some labs in Sweden. Recently we have moved to Australia to do home schooling and to run a health retreat. I love travelling, sweet music, play guitar and piano, and love my church (Seventh-Day Adventist), and I enjoy people and learning about the world. I'm a curious scientific mind, and love learning, and also like to do exciting and crazy things from time to time. I also love cycling, writing poetry, reading spiritual things, and spiritual things. I had a blast in Colombia doing agriculture, but also love helping people with health.

PHILOSOPHY

'I am come that they might have life, and that more abuntantly' John 10:10

Music, Movies, and Books

Got lots of good dvds but way too busy to watch much anyway. Love to read and improve myself. Love cooking international vegetarian stuff too. Music, I love Vivaldi, Handel and cheerful classical pieces, but mostly love stuff that has some spiritual purpose. Books I love books on history and prophecy. there's a great classic called 'The great Controversy' that is particularly worth reading.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Got engaged, and as we stood on top of a mountain and looked down at the mountains shadow, and our own silouette, saw a beautiful rainbow surrounding us both.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share about guitar and piano, and a bit on history, and bit on religious topics. Maybe a bit of vegetarian cooking, and a bit about massage.

I am happy to cook a vegetarian meal for you and share some entertaining stories.
