Until 2023, I served as a vicar, ministering in parishes throughout the United Kingdom. In December 2021, I contracted COVID, like many others, and have not felt well since. My long COVID symptoms forced me to stop working, and now I can only venture out with the aid of mobility assistance.

I live in Suffolk, married to Rachel, and we have three children, the oldest of whom has moved out but has kindly left us with her feisty Pomeranian to care for. She is accompanied by Hank, the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, who never leaves my side.

I love all forms of communication, especially podcasting and writing. For the past two years, I have been using my passion by writing my first novella. ‘A Life Worth Living’ and spreading awareness about living with long COVID through my podcast and book ‘Living with Long Covid’.

Why subscribe?

None of my Long Covid podcast episodes or articles will ever be hidden behind a paywall. I also write and record about other subjects, including reflections on the spiritual nature of life, some of which are subscription-only. If you can support my work in any way, it would be greatly appreciated, but if not, that’s perfectly fine, too!
