I have been married to Sandra for 18 years and the Lord has blessed us together and has given us five children.

I have played guitar since I was eleven years old and in my teens I started to play harmonica. When I became a Christian I asked the Lord to give me the inspiration I needed to write songs. Through reading the Bible and learning from experiences in my life and observing what happens in the world around me I find that expressing myself through music comes naturally. I always want to keep the lyrics of the songs simple so that the man on the street would know who or what I was singing about. The Gospel is the greatest story ever told - that Jesus Christ came to our world to save us from our sin and from a lost eternity, and I hope that through the songs we could spread this good news of Jesus Christ.

The Lord has also blessed me with having talented musicians around to help and a big thank you to them for their hard work and creativity. The vision for this band is to reach out to people who are lost and tell them about this wonderful Saviour of the world - Jesus Christ.
