Dave Ashworth
Drum Tutor
How long have you been at Nexus?About a week! I studied here back in 2002-3, I then spent the last 9 years playing drums in a band called [dweeb]. That came to an end just as the drum tutor job became vacant here at Nexus, the opportunity to come back and work for the place that was so significant and influential in my own life was something I didn’t want to pass up.
What is your favourite part about working at Nexus?
Well, I’m still adjusting to being on staff here, however the opportunity to combine teaching drums with helping the students here to realise God’s plan for their life is a real privilege.
What is the one thing you would like to do before you die?
I’d love to walk from John O’Groats to Lands End. Seriously!

What is your major achievement to date?
Choosing to walk God’s path for my life rather than picking the easy option.

What do you enjoy doing in your spare time?
I’m a complete computer nerd. So building, repairing and playing with PCs (or Macs!). I’m also doing and English Language and Literature degree in my spare time, which I love.
What are people surprised to learn about you?
That I’m not 16! Looks can be deceiving…
If you could write a book, what would it be about?
Well, I could write a book about something incredibly deep and meaningful. However, in reality it is one of life’s aims to write a novel one day. It’s going to be Lord of the Rings meets typical whodunit mystery novel. Watch this space!
What is currently on your itunes playlist?
Frightened Rabbit, Brand New, Paper Route and a little bit of Rush.
In two sentences or less, how has your faith changed you?
It’s changed me in every single possible way, the road I was on before I was a Christian was heading in a radically different direction to the road I’m on now. If I were to single out one example, it would be that I am truly hopeful; the works that God has done in my life has given me a real sense of hope in regards to where he’s taking me.
