Nigel Lane

He was born in an embarrassingly named Lancashire town in 1955, where he lived until he was 10 years old, and then again from 13 years old almost until he was married in 1977. During that time his father died [when Nigel was 8] and he became a Christian [when he was 14]. Jan and Nigel have 3 children - Rebecca, Adam and Beth and 3 grand children - Megan, Carys and Lewis.

He was variously [and continuously] employed in various industries until he 'settled down' into sales and marketing for the transport and distribution industry. With three young children and a growing career the family had one of their famous 'family conferences' where it was decided that the job needed to be reduced to enable Dad to become part of the family again.

This happened as they moved from the south of England to the North East - incidentally before they arrived Nigel had found a job - sales in the transport industry! Although the move meant a dramatic drop in salary the family were very happy. During this period [with all the spare time Nigel had gained] he began to volunteer at the church young group [populated by his children as well as others]. That move began a life change which you see today - full time youth worker [since 1991].

Late in 1999 Nigel and his wife Jan moved to Australia to continue his youthwork as Executive Director of YFC Geelong-Westcoast.

Coaching and mentoring have been a part of Nigel's life for many years with formal training being received from Coach University. Nigel is also a member of Christian Coaches.
