About Me

Alan graduated from the University of Tasmania in 2008, with a Bachelor of Music majoring in Classical Composition. While studying he was a part of the University Fellowship of Christians (Previously known as FOCUS). This is where he spent most of his time hanging out during his studies, as part of the student committee, team-leading the Conservatorium Christian Group, and attending weekly meetings. It was in his first year of uni, through the ministry of UFC and the encouragement of close friends, that he made a personal commitment to following Jesus as his Lord and Saviour.

From 2010 Alan will be working for the University Fellowship of Christians is as a first year apprentice under Mikey Lynch, as a part of AFES, the Australian Fellowship of Evangelical Students.

Alan is a member of Wellspring Anglican Church in Sandy Bay, where he actively takes part in Resonate, the 6pm evening service. He is a drummer on the Resonate worship team, and is also a service co-ordinator and small group leader.

Alan’s passions include music, people, and Jesus. All of which, as you would expect, play an important part of his life. He has a healthy relationship with road cycling and English Football (although Mikey would disagree) and he is an Arsenal fan (but don’t hold that against him).
