Gavin Cox
Biography
Gavin graduated from Camborne School of Mines in 1991 and has since worked in land survey with remote sensing and in the seismic industry, his work taking him to many places worldwide. He took a career break in 1999 to study theology and this was his ‘wake-up call’ to the importance of accepting Genesis creation as real biblical history. He has a particular interest in the ancient history and archaeology of Egypt, particularly the connections with the Old Testament.
An associate speaker for CMI (UK/Europe) from April 2017, he was a full-time staff speaker/writer from June 2018 to October 2023.
