Graham and his wife Sylvia joined GSFC in 2011, having transferred from Horley Baptist Church, where he was baptised in 2007. Graham and Sylvia were married in 1988 and have 3 adult children; boy/girl twins (Will & Zoe) and a younger son (Greg). An analytical chemist by education and training, Graham has spent almost his entire career in the pharmaceutical industry, initially as a Quality Control Analyst before moving into Quality Assurance and is currently self-employed as a Quality Consultant. As a 'devout agnostic' for the first 40+ years of his life, he understands why many non-believers find it hard to enter a church for anything other than attending a christening, wedding or funeral, but really wishes that they would take that first step. Graham has held a passion for football since he was a boy and has supported Chelsea FC for over 50 years. He played local league football in his home town of Horley for many years, still tries to play cricket and footgolf when he can and is a regular pub quizzer.
