NEW AFFILIATE LEADER! Helping Fathers Heal - Australia/New Zealand

I am a husband, a father, and a lifelong learner of the heart.

I was born in Sydney, Australia, in what were then the outer edges of the city, in a place called Baulkham Hills. When I was around five years old, my family moved closer to the inner west of Sydney, where my early years continued to unfold. These beginnings grounded me in a strong sense of home, family, and belonging.

I attended primary school at Newington College in Stanmore, before later attending St Joseph’s College, Hunters Hill for high school — the same school Lachy, my son, would one day attend. That shared connection, spanning generations, became a quiet and meaningful bond between us. From there, I continued my studies at Macquarie University and later at Western Sydney University, years that deepened my curiosity about life and planted an early openness to growth beyond what I knew.

In the early 2000s, life invited me further afield. An opportunity took me to America, where I spent a number of formative years living and working, first in San Francisco and later in Dallas, Texas. During this time, I built a life with my gorgeous wife, Liz, my partner in love and life. Together, we were blessed with two absolutely beautiful children, Lachy and Georgie, who shaped our hearts in ways words can barely capture. These years were rich with experience, challenge, and shared growth as we navigated new places, cultures, and the responsibilities of raising a young family.

In 2015, we felt a strong pull to return home to Australia so our children could grow up close to extended family and be grounded in their roots. Back in Sydney, life settled into a quieter, more familiar rhythm, and I continued working alongside family in a role that provided stability and structure.

Everything shifted when our beautiful son, Lachy transitioned from this physical world.

There are no words that can fully describe the pain of losing a child, nor the way such a loss reshapes every part of who you are. Grief entered life in ways never imagined — raw, confronting, and all-encompassing.

And yet, alongside the grief, something else began to unfold.

Since Lachy’s transition, a profound spiritual awakening has unfolded. What began as heartbreak slowly opened into a deeper understanding of love, consciousness, and the eternal nature of the soul. Through meditation, stillness, signs, visitations, and moments of quiet inner knowing, Lachy’s guidance has continued — gently, patiently, and lovingly — reminding me that love does not end and that connection is never broken.

These past two years have been a journey of learning how to live again while carrying grief, learning to trust the unseen, and learning to open the heart to truths that exist beyond the physical world. Lachy’s presence remains a constant — felt in quiet moments, in synchronicities, in love shared, and in the ongoing unfolding of spiritual understanding.

Today, life is lived with a deeper awareness of what truly matters: love, service, compassion, forgiveness and remembering who we really are beyond this human experience. Lachy continues to teach that even in the darkest moments, there is light — and that love is eternal. Lachy's love continues to ripple out to so many. 

This journey is not one that would have been chosen from a human perspective, but it is one that has forever changed me. It is a path walked with humility, gratitude, and an open heart — guided always by love, and by our beautiful boy.
