It’s been a long time coming, but I finally set up my website.

My primary motivation for this site is to re-connect with our fans. Newsboys have been a band now for over 20 years, which amazes me. It seems just yesterday, a young band from the Sunshine Coast of Australia, ventured to the USA to “conquer the world.” Full of hope and expectation we sold everything and hopped on a plane “bound for destiny.”

The early years would see kangaroo suits and drop bear calls, space ships and video screens, but the mission was sure.

As the years have unfolded, my wildest dreams have been surpassed. Playing to 15,000 Muslims in Morocco. Performing on the banks of the Sea of Galilee in Israel. Playing in much of South America, Africa, Canada, New Zealand, Europe, Australia, and the USA.

I guess after all my childhood goals have been exceeded, I started thinking of my legacy. I don’t want to be known, as just a drummer, who had he oppotunity to play in a phenominal band. What would I be remembered for? I once had the chance to go to a funeral of a man that you wouldn’t know. He wasn’t rich or successful, as most would expect, but there was over 1000 people there, that been impacted by this great mans life. He was indeed one of the most rich and successful man I have known. It was his life of service and relationship that had such a huge impact in his small community.

I guess what I’m trying to say is……I want to be like him. When you play in a successful band, you get catered to, and lavished apon. With a young family, the business of life, the fan relationship can suffer.

This site is my attempt to get re-aquainted with you. I plan to blog often, give regular updates, and add media consistantley. Maybe, online drum lessons….I dunno. I also want to hear from you. What would you like to see more….or less of. I have said for years that Newsboys have the best, and most loyal fans in the industry. We have known some of you since you were kids, now with established families of your own. I personally feel incredibly blessed that we still have sold out tours. Our demographic is 3-93 I’ve said in many an interview.

So…..I suppose the next question might be….What’s next? I fully believe that there is a lot more left in this band. As the years have rolled, our songs, lyrics,performances have greatly improved and matured, so why would I think that this would not continue.

So…get ready, hang on, the best is yet to come……..
