- About Me :
- Who me? Well... I'm a 27 year old part time teacher living in Sheffield. I used to describe myself as a pomo (as in postmodern) pilgrim, but I've stopped. Why? Because it just sounded a little too 90s and way too pretentious. I guess now I'm just a pilgrim; following Christ, looking for God. Finding him in church, friends, culture, music... Sharing what I've found along the way. I'm married to the lovely Helen, we've recently become proud parents.
