A Little About Me

I qualified as a dentist from King’s College Hospital in London in 1977, and I’ve been in practice for almost fifty years. During that time I practised in the UK, Australia and Austria, with my work moving into areas of healthcare that went well beyond teeth. I’ve spoken in all three countries, and also Ireland, the USA and New Zealand.

Much of my career was spent  treating head, neck and back pain of dental origin.  Looking at the overall picture with the understanding that the mouth is not separate from the rest of the body but part of it. There is no doubt many of the physical problems people experience are due to the pressures of everyday life: work, relationships, financial concerns and the feeling that something is missing.

Been there, done that.

Over the years I’ve been a dentist, author, speaker, husband, father and, like everyone else, a work in progress. There have been successes, disappointments, unexpected changes of direction and moments when I’ve wondered what comes next.

Purpose doesn’t retire.

I believe we’re not just here to earn a living, fulfil our responsibilities and eventually stop. Each of us has a significant contribution to make. 

Alongside my continuing involvement in dentistry, I write and speak about purpose, significance and the practical challenge of creating the freedom to pursue what matters most.

My vision is simple: to help people find and fund their calling. If that sounds like you, you’re in the right place.
