I have lived most of my life in and around Fremantle, Australia.  I trained as a hairdresser and operated a hairdressing business. Christian Science came into my life shortly after a personal challenge.  A dear friend passed on at a relatively young age.  Shortly after, I bought a second-hand copy of Science and Health - the word “Health” caught my attention.

As a teen I began to feel a deep intuition about the presence and power of a profoundly loving God, which became increasingly important to me. "How does God know himself and all of his creation?" I wondered.

As a child, I loved listening to Bible stories, especially healings performed by Jesus. These gifts of God’s grace seemed so natural, yet I couldn’t understand why God would not allow for such healings today.

I grew up loving Christian Science as a little boy and never stopped. I was raised in Tampa, Florida, in a loving family where it was natural to see Christian Science healing and look to God for answers for all of life’s needs.

For a long time, I felt like I was doing everything I was supposed to do –– pursuing a meaningful career, helping others, and building a life that looks successful on the outside. And yet, underneath it all, there was a persistent sense that something was missing. I followed my desire to help people by earning undergraduate and graduate degrees in social work and spent over a decade working as a psychotherapist.
