Sam was born into a Christian family in the Preston area and, by God’s grace, began to follow Jesus as a child. God has faithfully kept him since then.

Sam studied Physiotherapy at The University of Central Lancashire and worked for eight years at Blackpool Hospital. During this time he also spent four years as a part-time ministry trainee for a church near Merseyside. He has now made the move from Lancashire to Cumbria with his wife Olivia and son Harry.

In his spare time Sam enjoys sport, reading biographies and time spent with family and friends.
