I was born in a third generation Christian family. My grandfather once served as an elder of Swatow church in Central. I committed my life to Jesus during a summer youth camp at the age of 13.

I began serving in the music ministry since I was 10 in playing piano for Sunday school, sang in choirs and worship teams. I preached my first sermon at the age of 15 in a youth group but was reminded that was not exactly my gifting!

In 1984, I studied in Leicester Polytechnic in England where I met my wife Pauline. After graduation, I worked in England for another eight years and attended the Leicester Chinese Church where I served as chairman and worship leader.

Our family returned to HK in 1996 and began attending ECC six years ago. I have led worship, served in Alpha, care group, taught the Experiencing God class and am now a member of the Flight Deck Fellowship.

I work as a sales manager for Avaya HK which is a telephony vendor.

Pauline and I celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary last December with our two sons Nathan of 12 and Wesley 10; both committed their lives to Christ, and studying at ICS.
