I’m a Frenchman who likes to empower youth, talk about Jesus, and find creative ways to do ministry. I am originally from France and lived in the US, Hong Kong, and now England. My wife, Jess, and I live in leafy Surrey; where I serve as Youth Minister in a local Church of England. A fun fact about myself is that I speak Chinese, and founded a training center in Paris to teach Chinese!
On the academic side, I am a part-time Ph.D. student at the University of Birmingham. My research focuses is in the field of technology and theology, under my great supervisor Dr. Jeremy Kidwell. I analyze digital technologies from the angle of Christian Ethics and look at concept such as hypereality, selfhood, and privacy.
I am a Cumberland Lodge Fellow for the years 2020-2022 and adjunct at the Institut Protestant de Théologie (Paris) where I teach a class on contemporary theology.
