When the call to ministry came, I assumed it meant the pulpit and the congregation — and that the engineering career I'd built would quietly end.
I'd studied Electronic Engineering and Technology at Wentworth Institute of Technology in Boston, worked as a systems engineer in the United States and the United Kingdom, and come home to build my own IT and multimedia business: consulting for private and public organisations, producing for TV, radio and print, and building brands.
It turned out God had a wider brief. The technical life I thought I was laying down was preparation.
Today I serve as an ordained minister, and I run the technology behind a national denomination — its meetings, its broadcasting, its publishing, its communications. I sit in the room where church leaders are trying to work out what to do with the tools the world keeps handing them. Most of them weren't trained for it. Nobody was.
That's why Tech-Savvy Pastor exists. I help pastors and church leaders make clear, affordable technology decisions without losing sight of the people they serve. Technology serves ministry. Ministry never serves technology.
