PJ is an author, speaker, and advocate for non-recent abuse victims and the poorest of the poor.

PJ is the founder of Survivor-2-Survivor, a movement to help survivors turn shame into solidarity and pain into purpose. A movement built on the belief that no one climbs out of the pit of trauma alone. A movement that sees trauma as the raw material for transformation, and healing as something contagious.

As the youngest and longest-abused victim of the most prolific abuser connected to the Church of England — his own father, PJ fought his way out of the pit of trauma, and is now on a mission to help heal 1.3 million survivors. The number isn’t random: his father harmed 130 victims. Through Survivor-2-Survivor he is helping 10,000 times that many heal.

PJ also works with the remarkable glo.burundi team who are outsmarting poverty, nourishing souls, and rebuilding Burundi — the poorest nation on earth. They work from the ground up and the top down, from rescuing women on the streets to launching million-dollar sustainable farms.

With 25 years of experience leading organizations, thousands of hours communicating from stages, and his own tumultuous journey, PJ is a uniquely compelling communicator in the space of maximizing your life, faith and all-round resilience.

PJ married Ashleigh, his high school sweetheart 30 years ago. He is a father of three stunning sons, a couple of adorable daughters-in-law, and grandson Charlie. He has lived in the UK, Africa, and now lives the USA. His career has spanned education, church, healthcare, and non-profit. He gyms and enjoys a round of golf … although golf doesn’t enjoy him much.
