Tech Lead
Helps the church’s technology serve worship, communication and community reliably — keeping the tools useful and the focus on people.
What that means
Following Jesus should change the way people experience us.
For me, faith is both conviction and practice: truth held seriously, grace offered generously and service made tangible. It turns up in the obvious spiritual places, but also in planning, patience, cooking, cables, checklists and the unnoticed jobs that help a community flourish.
I became part of Connect Church Cornwall after moving to Wadebridge in May 2023. Its focus on connecting with Jesus, each other and the community feels very much like faith with its sleeves rolled up.
Connect Church Cornwall
A few ways I currently serve.
Technology and hospitality look different on a task list. In practice, both are about helping people feel supported and able to take part.
Men’s Breakfast cook
Serves practical hospitality for a regular point of connection, conversation and encouragement.
Head Alpha Chef
Leads the kitchen side of Alpha, making generous welcome tangible one meal at a time.
Creation Fest
From very large pans to two team-lead roles.
Creation Fest celebrates the good news of a God who loves us. It is also a substantial live event powered by teams of volunteers — which means hospitality, technology and careful coordination matter enormously.

Beyond the job titles
Interests have seasons.
Some are active, some appear occasionally and some belong to earlier chapters. They all leave something useful behind.
Church technology & AV
Sound, projection, streaming, networks and all the calm preparation behind a live moment.
Cooking for people
From breakfast to festival kitchens: food as practical service, welcome and community.
Websites & digital making
Building useful corners of the internet, improving systems and seeing what an idea can become.
Reading & learning
Following questions across technology, business, faith, people and whatever has sparked curiosity this week.
Video editing & production
Turning raw material into something coherent, watchable and useful.
Farming & rural life
A practical appreciation shaped by time helping on a cattle and sheep farm — machinery, animals and work with visible results.
Skiing
Still an interest, even when there is rather more Cornwall than snow in the diary.
Theatre, lighting & sound
Years of designing and operating theatre sound and lighting, including leadership at Belfrey Theatre.
Cycling
A long-standing interest, although no longer a regular part of the week.
Martial arts
Shotokan karate formed part of an earlier chapter and remains part of the wider story.
Motorcycling
No longer riding, but still one of the interests that helped shape earlier years.
Youth mentoring
Not a current role, but previous youth leadership and one-to-one mentoring remain meaningful experience.
A simple aim
Use what is in your hands. Make room for somebody else.
Sometimes that looks strategic. Sometimes it looks technical. Sometimes it looks like breakfast.
