By July 2011, Chris had graduated with an MA in Theology from the University of Wales, Trinity St David and in October that year, decided to turn his attention to re-writing his dissertation for publication as a book.
In his spare time he enjoys reading, photography and listening to music - his collection ranges from McCartney to Mozart and includes a range of classical and contemporary music from both the Christian and secular genres.
Chris is a practicing Christian who is active in the Belmont Abbey Parish. In 2004 he became aware of Catholic Charismatic Renewal and attended the first Hereford Catholic Conference in the autumn of that year. He has since been involved in helping to organise the conference and Celebrate Wales which was inaugurated in May 2011. He and his family are regular attendees at the Celebrate Conference in Ilfracombe each Easter. He is also a part of the HOTS (Healing on the Streets) team in Hereford working with 15 other churches.
Chris lives in Herefordshire where he is married with three wonderful children.

BIOGRAPHY
Chris was educated by the Jesuits at St Michael’s College in Leeds which he left at the age of 16 years with just four GCSE passes. He worked for a short time in a department store before beginning a career with the Halifax Building Society. After three years he decided that the financial world was not for him and chose instead to join the police and served both in North Yorkshire Police and later West Mercia Constabulary, retiring in 2007 after a fruitful career.
Whilst serving in the police, Chris earned a BA Honours degree from the Open University and worked part time for the OU as an Associate Lecturer.
After retirement, Chris worked part-time as a teaching assistant at a local Catholic Primary School, taking responsibility for the liturgical life of the school and he also attained Higher Level Teaching Assistant (HLTA) status. It was during this time that he embarked on his studies for a Master’s degree.
In April 2010 Chris moved on to establish a ministry providing a variety of services to Christian establishments, organisations, events and conferences and including administrative services to a local Catholic Parish. More recently he has been giving talks on the New English Translation of the Roman Missal.
