Gareth was born in Glasgow and lived in his native homeland until the age of 21. He studied marketing at the Univeristy of Strathclydeand after completing his degree ventured on a magical mystery tour that took in Carlisle, Uganda, California, and ended up in Milton Keynes as Label Manager for an independent music label. He spent four years in Milton Keynes before he married his beautiful wife, Andi, and they both promptly moved to India, where Gareth worked as Commercial Director for a Christian distributor, retailer, and publisher.

Gareth and Andi spent 18 months in India before he was offered the position of Managing Director of Authentic Media back in Milton Keynes – a position he enjoyed for two years. Since then, he and Andi, as well as pastoring the church, work with various organisations including Hillsong, World Vision, and Operation World and advise on marketing and distribution strategies.

Gareth is passionate about building community, genuine relationship, and whole life discipleship. He also supports the MK Dons, but we’ll keep quiet about that one.
