Barry was born in Palmerston, Otago and grew up going to the

Presbyterian church and youth group. He came to faith in his teens -

but getting involved in Scripture Union holiday programmes and Youth

for Christ, when work in Dunedin city came along, was the path to his

adult faith in Christ. He has worked in television studios and with

computer companies - as well as having had several years as a board member and

then director, of Youth for Christ Dunedin.

Barry and Trudie have 3 Children and 1 Grandchild. Matthew is married to Sara, and

they have Alex who is 16 months old. Rebecca flats in Dunedin and Anna is in year 9

at Taieri College.

They have a small but busy Computer business that works with small businesses and

home clients making technology work well. Both Barry and Trudie were elders for

more than 15 years at Mosgiel Presbyterian before joining Leith Valley in December

2016. Barry enjoys technical challenges and has been helping as a sound person

through the last 18 months. He looks forward to the opportunity to serve and help in

the ministry of Leith Valley.
