Born and raised in the North East of England, for the past 20 years I have lived with my family in Birmingham, where I served in different appointments as a Methodist presbyter. In 2015 I was awarded a PhD by the University of Birmingham for my research into the Labour Church, a radical Social Gospel movement. I continue with my research into labour history as religious history.
