About Me

My journey toward the ministry of spiritual direction followed an unexpected path.  I am a professional vocal accompanist and a former pastor of music ministries at Christian & Missionary Alliance churches in Toronto and Vancouver.  While focusing my attention on music for over thirty years, I developed a growing passion for mentoring and discipleship ministries.  God led me to explore these passions by participating in the discipleship program offered by Journey Canada.  A few years later, I obtained a Certificate in Spiritual Direction from the Emmaus Formation Centre.  I am now practicing my accompanist’s skills of concentrated listening and perceptivity by companioning with men who are desiring spiritual direction. As we meet together in the presence of the Holy Spirit, we seek to hear the voice of God and discern how He is at work in the directee’s life.  My perspective is trinitarian and steadfastly Christ-centered, and I rely on the unified witness of scripture, church tradition, reason, and experience in my discernment process.  My primary interest is focused on those who are impacted by LGBTQ issues, but I am willing to meet with anyone who desires to grow in his relationship with Jesus.
