Dom is married to Leslie and together they have raised three adult daughters.
He grew up on the Gold Coast with a constant suntan, a soccer ball by his side, and racing his family greyhounds. From a Catholic upbringing Dom became a Christian at university (UNE, Armidale) after
understanding that the gospel is a message of grace, centred on having a personal relationship with Jesus rather than mere religion or "churchianity"!
Before studying at Moore Theological College Dom worked in a chartered accounting firm in Sydney. In God’s kindness he has served in Sydney Anglican Churches (1994-1998), at Crossroads Christian Church in Canberra (1999-2002) and then planted Southside Bible Church serving as their pastor (2003-2021).
During this time, together with Leslie, he also planted Lakeside Bible Church and served as their pastor during the early days (2010-2013). In 2018 he completed his Masters of Theology at SMBC (over 7 years!)
Dom’s role at GBC is to teach God’s Word, to pray, vision-cast and equip God’s people for a life of service to the glory of God.
