Email Andrew

Andrew is a life-long learner. Having planned to study at Ridley for a three-year degree, he has now been teaching in various capacities since 1997. He resists specialising, preferring to help students learn about reading and using both Testaments of Scripture.

With prior research on the sociology of the internet and experience in tertiary teaching and information technology, he is particularly passionate about our Ridley Online program. He also has experience with student ministry (AFES) and overseas missions (CMS).

Andrew is an active member of the Glen Waverley Anglican Church.

Teaching Areas

Hobbies & Interests
Computers so consume Andrew’s daily learning and teaching that they’re no longer a form of relaxation (though Lego Star Wars continues to warrant honourable mention). Instead, he enjoys logic puzzles, trying to keep up with sci-fi, the weekly food shopping, and yielding to his children’s ridiculous ability at Boggle.
