In this episode, Wesley College's high-performance manager, Dr. Daniel Hiscock, shares insights from his seven years at the institution, detailing how the school's long-term athletic development (LTAD) program supports students from pre-kindergarten through year 12 in building athletic ability, healthy habits, and life skills. Daniel highlights the program's three-tiered structure, which caters to all students, from general participants to elite athletes competing at state and national levels. He shares inspiring stories of student athletes with lofty goals, such as a badminton player aiming for the Commonwealth Games and a footballer pursuing an AFL career. These examples demonstrate the importance of consistency, tailored support, and collaboration with families to help students achieve their aspirations. The podcast also emphasises the inclusivity of the Wesley College LTAD program, which extends support to less advantaged students and those with disabilities. Programs like UniGym and early gross motor skill interventions are designed to foster lifelong habits of physical activity, ensuring that all students benefit, regardless of their athletic ability. Daniel further explains how the school integrates innovative training methods, such as isometric exercises, to enhance strength, accommodate injured athletes, and manage high training demands while minimising injury risks. A significant focus of the episode is the collaborative mentorship approach taken at Wesley College. Dr. Hiscock underscores the importance of open communication with parents, external coaches, and club programs to effectively navigate the complex needs of high-performing athletes. He also reflects on the challenges of balancing resources and scaling programs, sharing practical strategies to optimise outcomes for a wide range of students. Drawing from his diverse career, Daniel shares lessons learned, emphasising the value of foundational training principles, the need for athlete buy-in, and the importance of individualised programming. He explains how these principles have guided the program's growth and success while remaining adaptable to the unique needs of each student. The episode concludes with Daniel reflecting on the holistic value of sport as a means to build not only high-performing athletes but also well-rounded and resilient individuals.

The University of North Dakota's 1912 Dacotah yearbook reported that president Edward Robertson of Wesley College envisioned Sayre Hall, the men's dormitory, as a place “where tossing, stretching, room stacking, and other relics of barbarism intended to strike terror into freshmen … would have no place, for the founder had high ideals.” The yearbook continued, “The knowing ones shook their heads and murmured: ‘Wait and see, time will tell.'”

It is a bit unusual for one man to write a love letter to another man. I am not sure of the correct form or phrasing of it, but I am sure that no other sort would suit my idea of a letter that I wish to have bound together with writings of other friends in a Blue Key testimonial."

Delaware’s state capital, a town known more for Dover Air Force Base (AFB), the Dover 500 racetrack, and traffic jams leading to the Delaware beaches, is the setting where higher education history is about to be made. May 15th, a day that should have been filled with exuberance for seniors celebrating their big moment graduating from Wesley College, was instead, bittersweet. All knew it would be the last time any graduate would walk across the stage as a Wesley Wolverine. Next year, the rising seniors will leave as Delaware State Hornets. Two colleges located less than a mile apart will become one on July 1. Delaware State University, a 130-year-old Land Grant Historically Black College and University (HBCU) and proud owner of a successful Division I athletics program, is acquiring its neighbor to the east, Wesley College, a 148-year-old Minority Serving Institution (MSI), with a robust Division III athletics program. My guest today is Dr. Scott Gines, Vice-President and Director of Athletics at Delaware State University. Scott and I talk about the acquisition of one college by another and what that looks like in real life. We also talk about his experience working at two minority serving institutions as a white man, and his history of embracing diversity and equity at each. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/karen-weaver/message

Phil Kingsley-Jones, the former manager of Jonah Lomu and the man famously credited with keeping the late All Blacks great from leaving rugby for league, has passed away.A family member of the 72-year-old Welshman confirmed to the Herald had been "recovering at home" after falling five months ago.Kingsley-Jones was Lomu's manager for 10 years until 2004 when the former All Black's wife Fiona took over his management.Without him, Lomu might have played out his career in the Australian league.Welsh-born Kingsley-Jones had come to New Zealand in 1983, driving a truck during the week, propping a rugby scrum for Mt Wellington on Saturday afternoons, and working as a stand-up comedian on Saturday nights.At the height of his show business success in the 90s he sold out shows when on stage with former All Black Stu Wilson, and the duo published five big-selling books.Kingsley-Jones started working with the Counties-Manukau Rugby Union in 1989, and first crossed paths with Lomu when the already massive South Auckland teenager was at Wesley College.In 1994, a year before rugby went professional, Lomu was offered a $300,000 a year deal to play league for the Canterbury Bulldogs in Sydney. Dropped by the All Blacks after two tests against France in '94, and disillusioned with rugby, Lomu decided to sign with the Bulldogs, asking Kingsley-Jones to draw up a formal contract to manage him.Jonah Lomu and Phil Kingsley-Jones in 2003. Photo / PhotosportAt the time Kingsley-Jones said he would manage Lomu, but on one crucial condition - he had to stick with rugby and when he wins back his place in the All Blacks, he must give Kingsley-Jones the jersey he wears.And so it was that Kingsley-Jones would receive a '95 World Cup jersey from Lomu, and Lomu would be the key to a US$555 million television contract for southern hemisphere rugby.Kingsley-Jones worked at Counties Manukau Rugby for 15 years over two periods from 1989–1996 and 2009-2017.In that time, he served as the club's coaching co-ordinator, coaching director, coach of the development team, coach of junior representative teams, sponsorship and business development manager.He was made a lifetime ambassador for the union, and the lounge at the Steelers' home ground, Navigation Homes Stadium in Pukekohe, was named after him.He also coached the Tongan national team, taking them on two tours to South Africa and the United Kingdom, which helped them qualify for the 1999 Rugby World Cup.Former Steelers and Maori captain Errol Brain who knew Phil closely said: "This is a truly sad day for Counties Manukau and rugby."Phil would be one of the only people who could walk into any rugby club in the world and know someone who would want to buy him a beer. His larger than life personality, sharp brain and ability to think outside the square was a great gift."What he did for Jonah Lomu was ground-breaking. He was the pioneer who turned Jonah into rugby's first global superstar all while keeping him grounded and connected to what was important, which was our region. Such was the impact that many of the young ones coming through today still look up to him and are aware of Jonah's legacy." 

Dr Myers talks to two teachers, Paul Sexton from Wesley College in Perth and Rowan Cahill from Mackay North State High School in Queensland. While separated by 5,000km of Australian Desert, they came together to facilitate their students forming a long-distance collaboration team, breaking the tyranny of distance, to participate in the F1 in Schools World Finals in Abu Dhabi in 2019. They discuss the achievements and experiences of the students and the professional development outcomes the experience provided them.

Many higher ed institutions are struggling with finances due to COVID and other reasons, and some higher ed leaders are seriously contemplating a merger with or acquisition of or by another institution. These processes can be a win-win proposition, allowing for increased capacity, services and efficiencies for students.   One example of this process is Delaware State University, which is in the process of merging with Wesley College. This merger began earlier this year and is spearheaded by Dr. Tony Allen, who became Delaware State’s 12th president in January. He previously served as the institution’s provost.   But that isn’t the two story with Dr. Allen – his career spans both higher education and corporate. This broad career has benefited him significantly, as he brings his experience from outside of higher Ed to tackle some of its biggest challenges.  For example, in this, his first year as Delaware State’s president, he has had to deal with COVID and moving to online education.   This merger/acquisition is the latest major issue that he is tackling. Dr. Allen believes that growing a very proud Black institution that has faced its challenges and focused on developing innovative programs is the most important thing he can focus on doing at this moment because these efforts will grow capacity and opportunity for students who are often underserved.   Merging with a Neighbor (or Anyone Else)  An advocate for both the State of Delaware and the University,, Dr. Allen has always believed in the institution’s possibilities. He said that Delaware State has an amazing story to tell but has not had enough storytellers. He wants people to know the institution’s rich history – and to grow it.  The merger is part of the institutional strategy to make that happen.   Dr. Allen, who has participated in a higher education merger before, said that going through a merger is a very interesting process. Delaware State’s vision is to be the most diverse HBCU in America. The institution’s leaders would like to increase enrollment from the current number (5,000 students) to 10,000 students in the next 5-7 years. To accomplish that, the school needs not only more students, but also more physical infrastructure to attract those students and to make sure that the faculty and staff feel like Delaware State is a first-class institution. Thus, a merger is a very sound strategy by which to accomplish this.  Wesley College, which primarily serves minority students, is literally two miles from Delaware State University. The college’s campus has about 20 buildings on 50 acres of land near downtown Dover.  In watching Wesley College’s decision-making processes related to the institution’s future, Delaware State leaders believed it was an interesting opportunity to approach their neighbors about the possibility of a merger. The college’s leaders were interested and are working with their Delaware State counterparts to make the merger happen. The merger agreement was recently signed.   One of the critical first pieces of any kind of merger is the due diligence of finding the correct partner. As you can see in the following paragraphs, Dr. Allen and his team have done their homework to make sure that Delaware State and Wesley are good partners for a merger.  Merger Due Diligence   Wesley and Delaware State share a similar student demographic. Delaware State has about 55% in-state students while Wesley has 57%. Both institutions serve minority students and their programs have many similarities and synergies, especially in the health sciences.   Wesley’s location and physical lay-out is exactly what Delaware State needs in Central Dover. Dr. Allen believes that once this merger is done, it will help the combined institutions rival sister institutions across the region and country.   From a purely financial place, Wesley is valued at approximately $34 million and has reasonably little debt. Through this merger, Delaware State leaders are creating a broader organization model that can support the institution moving forward.   Organizational Culture  Dr. Allen noted that cultural fit is key to the success of a merger. He believes it’s important to find the best of both institutions and then combining it to make the merger successful.   The next step in the Delaware State/Wesley merger involves combining the two organizational cultures. Dr. Allen said that Wesley has great brand equity in Dover and the State. While that brand equity is important, he wants to build capacity for Delaware State to expand its footprint more thoughtfully.  This requires getting to know the people on the other side of the table, and then sharing the hopes and aspirations from each institution’s perspective. Dr. Allen believes by sharing this information, parties can work together to build new and better structures and a strong organizational culture for the future.  Getting Governing Boards Buy-in  Dr. Allen noted that the Delaware State/Wesley contract was more of an acquisition than a merger of equals. During the negotiation process, Delaware State’s leaders were able to “sell” this deal to its trustees and some key stakeholders across the community. The university’s significant track record of graduating some of the finest students in the state, especially students of color, over the past 130 years, helped make the case. In addition, Delaware State has grown a serious research portfolio across a number of disciplines.   The addition of Wesley into the university’s portfolio will expand Delaware State exponentially. Therefore, making the case for why and why now was part of the pitch that Delaware State leaders made to the institution’s board, which includes two past governors, business leaders and alumni. As the institutional leaders made the case, board members and stakeholders asked good questions and helped the leaders get the right kind of feedback to ensure that this acquisition happened in the right way.   The two institutions have set up a timeline of one year in which to bring the organizations together, and during this year, they have built enough “tollbooth gates” along the way to be able to pause to see if the institution is meeting the goals effectively in each step along the way of this merger/acquisition. That’s why a year of transition is so critically important in this process.  Key Performance Metrics  Dr. Allen said there are contingencies in the acquisition agreement that must be met in order to get to “Legal Day One” in June 2021. These tollbooth gates include:  Securing enough private and government funding to manage the transition effectively.   Receiving approval of the deal from the institution’s accreditation and regulatory bodies.  Identifying core efficiencies in bigger contracts, such as IT and food services. Through this merger/acquisition, Dr. Allen believes that institutional leaders can negotiate some cost efficiencies.  Creating a dedicated project management office that can help provide and manage a successful transition plan that will serve as a roadmap for the future.   Maintaining a strong consulting team, including an independent consultant who helped with the due diligence process as well as additional consultants who provide national heft to the process. These individuals understand what needs to happen as well as the pitfalls that are lurking.  Focusing on Growth  Dr. Allen stated that the institution wants to have more students when the agreement’s effective date arrives, but also wants to be able to grow into its institutional “skin.” He noted that Delaware State’s student enrollment has grown 40% over the past decade whereas during that same period, colleges in the aggregate have seen declining enrollments. While Delaware State has been able to buck this trend, Dr. Allen noted that space restrictions have created issues with this growth that this merger will help alleviate.  In thinking about the right business model, the optimal student enrollment mix of residential vs. international vs. online as well as the right program mix, Dr. Allen noted that the acquisition of Wesley offers a very good opportunity to move a significant part of the residential mix of students and health services on the program side to that campus. Making these moves could build something very special.  Dr. Allen also noted that he and his staff have watched Wesley closely over many years and appreciated the quality of the institution’s programs. Wesley has faced many similar concerns that many private liberal colleges have faced this century and have been trying to find someone who could partner in a thoughtful way in order to preserve the students that are enrolled and also help the institution grow holistically.   Working on Organizational Redesign  Leaders are taking this year to evaluate different options of organization design and configuration to determine what would be best in moving forward and what would attract quality faculty and staff as well as students. Dr. Allen said a number of different configurations between the two institutions are being considered, including a Wesley campus at Delaware State University as well as a new Wesley College of Health and Behavioral Sciences at Delaware State University. This will expand Delaware State’s footprint across a wider region.  The real work begins now that the deal is signed. Dr. Allen has gone through this process as part of the acquired institution. He said that if you do it well, you’re taking the best of both institutions while also shedding things that beleaguered both institutions. Therefore, institutional leaders are being thoughtful about what they think is great about Wesley, where Delaware State can be more efficient and effective, and how to serve more students and give them more opportunities.  Creating a Merger  This was not the first time that Wesley had considered a merger – Wesley had considered several other partners, but those deals didn’t work out. Delaware State approached Wesley’s leaders with a deal that offered the best path forward for the institution. Additionally, this public-private partnership offers many additional benefits because it means Wesley will become a public institution.   Trying to find a merger partner can be difficult, but can succeed through identifying synergies. According to Dr. Allen, this is currently happening in his institution’s merger and that it’s important to be deliberate and realize that there are going to be surprises. He stressed the importance of having consultants who can help guide this process. He also believes that it is important to be thoughtful and really hopeful about creating a business model that can really change an institution and its service area.  Dr. Allen had a strategic vision when he assumed the presidency. His vision was helped because he grew up in Delaware and also served as the institution’s provost for two years before accepting the presidency. As he assumed the presidency, he contemplated the vision as well as what is right around the institution that can be amplified. Delaware State’s close proximity and regular collaboration to Wesley made this merger/acquisition make sense. Early reports indicate that stakeholders are seeing this effort favorably.  Communications  Communications are critical. The two institutions’ presidents are trying to answer questions in a uniform fashion. Both presidents meet regularly and coordinate communications, including the announcement of the merger/acquisition through a press release and press conference. They tried to articulate messages that would help individuals—students, faculty, staff and alumni—on both sides understand what this partnership would offer.   The next step is “standing and delivering in front of these audiences,” Dr. Allen said. This will encourage Wesley stakeholders to talk about their needs and anxieties and also communicate the opportunities that are being created for both institutions.  Dr. Allen believes that leaders need to communicate messages multiple times and then follow through on any promises that are made.  Four Recommendations for Higher Education Leaders  Dr. Allen suggested several takeaways for higher education leaders:  Leaders need to ensure that a decision about a merger/acquisition aligns with the institutional mission.   Be thoughtful about these decisions. While it may feel like it’s important to make the merger/acquisition happen immediately, Dr. Allen advises taking the time to do due diligence while also using the time to help bring two institutions meaningfully together.  Engage your board of directors. Think about the real value proposition that the institution being acquired brings to the decision. This is crucially important.  Always under-promise and over-deliver.  Bullet Points  A merger or acquisition can help institutions reach more students and provide more extensive programs.   Institutions who are interested in these types of actions need to consider fit. That includes proximity, campus facilities, student body, programs offered, institutional missions, and current financial status.  As part of this merger, institutions need to form a new culture that incorporates the hopes and dreams of both institutions. This requires getting to truly know individuals from the other institution and listening to their concerns and wishes.  Governing boards are obviously involved in this decision. These individuals can ask questions that can prompt due diligence that will help ensure the partnership is in the best interest of both organizations.  It is important to create a variety of metrics—including financial, programmatic, accreditation, efficiencies, etc.--to guide the merger process.   The merger or acquisition offers an opportunity to create a different education model both in relation to how to serve students and programmatically.  However, it’s wiser to take the necessary time to make the new configuration operational.  A strategic vision and synergies are important in helping create a strong merger/acquisition.  Outside consultants are critical in helping guide mergers and acquisitions.  Regular communications from both institution’s leaders are important in announcing a merger/acquisition as well as helping stakeholders understand next steps as the effort moves forward.  Links to Articles, Apps, or websites mentioned during the interview:  Delaware State University  Wesley College  Guests Social Media Links:  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tony-allen-b349736/   Twitter: @BelieveLiveLove   Bio: https://www.desu.edu/about/administration/office-president/about-tony   The Change Leader’s Social Media Links:  Website: https://thechangeleader.com   Website: https://changinghighered.com   LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drdrumm/  Twitter: @thechangeldr   Email: podcast@changinghighered.com   Keywords: #Education #Mergers #University #HigherEducation

She mentioned some things that are very important in the decision-making process and should be common in all situations. We talked about the daily schedule of being a basketball player at Wesley while you’re in season and out of season. With certain programs, these schedules can tend to change based on practice and workout availability. Lastly, we talked about her battle with ankle injuries. Paige had to get multiple ankle surgeries during her time at school and has battled recovery. Injury recovery is something that is tough for athletes physically and mentally. I also had to battle an injury that I talk about in the episode called” A Freak Injury”.http://studentathletecombo.com/

In the aftermath of the murder of George Floyd, we held off on our May podcast episode.  Whatever we had planned would not stand up to what the country was going through, and as many podcasts and content creators turned to amplify Black voices, we knew we needed to do the Division III football version. This upcoming season, if there is one, 17 Black men will be head coaches of Division III football programs. One of them, Chip Taylor of Hamline, was on Lake Street in Minneapolis on Memorial Day, just hours before and blocks away from where Floyd was killed. We talk with Taylor about his reaction, the immediate aftermath, plus his Hamline program and how they wrapped up recruiting during COVID-19, not to mention changes coming to the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. That's just one of the voices you'll hear on this podcast, though. We also invited three Black Division III football student-athletes, from a variety of backgrounds, to talk about when they realized that this was the killing of a Black man that would bring about a change in perception, as well as their experiences on campus as young Black men, and how they work as leaders on their campuses. Please take the time to listen to Nik Hayes of Millsaps, Malcolm Lang of Wabash and Devin Smith of Cortland as they and Keith McMillan tell their of their stories and experiences. And then, there is some news to tackle right now, even in the uncertainty surrounding the fall season, as Wesley College appears to be on the verge of either going under or getting acquired by/merged into Delaware State University. What would happen to their football program? We chat with Sean Greene, the Wolverines' longtime play-by-play voice on WDEL Radio. We discuss that and more in Podcast 275. Pat and Keith talk about it all in the latest D3football.com Around the Nation Podcast. The D3football.com Around the Nation Podcast is a regular conversation between Pat Coleman and Keith McMillan and guests covering the wide range of Division III football. The post ATN Podcast 275: A time to listen appeared first on D3football.com » D3football.com Around the Nation Podcast.

This weeks episode is with Tim O’shaughnessy. Tim’s life has been just so intertwined with running and athletics! He is currently a running coach at Wesley College and outside of this his running group works very closely with Nick Bideau’s guys at the Melbourne Track Club. In this episode I quiz him on the inner workings of MTC and why he believes they have been just so successful. We hark back to his own running career under Pat Clohessy, his City to Surf wins, what training was like with ‘the Pack’ with Chris Wardlaw, Ron Clark, Rob DeCastella and many others...We then also go over his roles in the football world; as a fitness advisor and coach and then his experience as the Athletics Australia distance running Co-ordination from 2007-2014. I loved how this episode flowed more alike a chat/conversation rather than an interview, as you will see Tim is a great story teller. I really enjoyed chatting to Tim, I’m sure many of you will enjoy listening in too!

A mother whose daughter had to pull her dress up and was patted down before entering a school ball says she's been violated.The 17-year-old girl attended Wesley College's ball at the Ellerslie Convention Centre on Saturday.She says girls were taken one by one into a room and searched by a female security guard who asked them to lift their dresses, with some revealing their underwear.The girl's mother is a Corrections Officer and says the search was poorly performed because the guard didn't use gloves and used the palm of her hand, instead of the back.Wesley College principal Dr Brian Evans says he's comfortable with the way security was handled and says the school hasn't received a complaint.Callers to Simon Barnett and Phil Gifford Afternoons shared their opinions on the issue and whether or not they agreed with the girl's mother.LISTEN TO THE AUDIO ABOVE

Kereama Tāwhai, (1864-1885) Letter to Sir George Grey, written at Wesley College, Auckland 18 Hune 1880 18 June 1880 Ki a Tā Hori Kerei, E tōku tupuna aroha, e te pākau o ngā Māori o Niu Tereni (Niu Tireni), e te kaiārahi i ngā Māori kia kite i te māramatanga. Tēnā koe. He tino tamariki rawa ahau ka tuhi atu nei ki a koe, otirā i runga i te mea ka tae mai nei te whakaaro ki roto i tooku (tōku) ngākau mō āu mahi i mahia e koe mō mātou, mō ngā Māori. Ka oho tōku ngākau hiahia kia tuhi atu ki a koe. E kara, tēnei ahau te titiro atu nei ki mua i a tātou, tērā pea te rā e mahue ai mātou i a koe ka poro raru noa iho mātou, ka kore tō mātou kaiāwhina, tō mātou mātua. E tōku tupuna ki te mea ka tiakina ahau i (e) te matua i te rangi, e kore āu mahi pai e warewaretia e au i waenganui o ngā Māori, o ngā Pākehā. Tēnei au kei te rapu i tētahi wāhi o te mātauranga o te Pākehā, mā reira pea e kaha rawa ai mātou ngā taitamariki ki te hāpai i ngā ture a koutou, a ngā kaumātua e whakatakoto nei ki a mātou. He mea tika anō e tōku tupuna kia whakahāweatia (e) koe (e) aku kupu. Nō te mea, ehara ahau i te tikanga tangata kia kōrero i ēnei mea. Mā Te Atua koe e tiaki, e whakakaha mō tāu mahi ki ngā Māori. Nā tōu mokopuna, Nā Kereama R Tāwhai Abstract: Writes at the request of his father [Hone Mohi Tawhai]; refers to Grey’s work with his grandfather, Mohi Tawhai, in 1845. Expresses his respect for Grey and their pleasure that he wishes to visit their school. Refers to his studies at the school, both secular and Christian. Expresses concern over the destiny of the Māori and their demise – elders dying, European customs, drunkenness and the cause. Says hope lies with Christianity and refers to his ambition to be a minister to improve the state of the Māori. Greets Grey poetically and acknowledges his leading Māori to enlightenment. Refers to himself as a mere child writing to him, but speaks of his wish to praise his work and also of his fear that should he [Grey] leave they will fall into trouble without their leader. Says that if the Lord wills, then he will support Grey's good works so they are never forgotten by Māori or Pakeha. Says that he seeks some of the knowledge of the Pakeha so they, the young, can continue to support the laws that he and their elders have established. Refers to his humility in putting forward these views. Wishes him God's protection and support in his work for the Māori.

Brian Lorenz was born to perform! Born and raised in a small town in the Philippines, he started singing and dancing at school from an early age. His late father always encouraged him to perform and he was often putting on a show for him in exchange for lollies. As a common trend in his hometown, Brian moved to the big city to explore the opportunities that Manila could offer. One opportunity lead to another and he travelled to many countries for dance engagements. For Brian to fulfill his dreams and aspirations he knew he would have to leave the Philippines and so Australia became the lucky country and in 2008 Brian arrived in Sydney to start a new life. He began his journey by studying hairdressing whilst continuing with his dancing and quickly became entrenched in the Ballroom Dancing community. In 2009, Brian's talent for dancing was spotted and he was offered a scholarship to study his Bachelor of Dance at Wesley College in Sydney where he graduated in 2011. After dancing for over a decade, Brian never had confidence in his singing until he was prevented from entering a Talent Quest as a dancer (as he was too good and too experienced). Instead he entered as a vocalist. He went on to win the quest singing one of his now signature songs "The Prayer". Realising now that he could sing, Brian whilst still studying continued to enter Talent Quests around Sydney and became well acquainted to performing with a live band and over time gained popularity in the main stream and in the Filipino community. The experience was invaluable and after winning competitions at Blacktown RSL, Cabra-Vale Diggers, Lakemba Ex Servicemen’s Club and Canterbury Bankstown Leagues Club, he has transitioned into being one of the featured performers in many leading clubs and venues all over New South Wales. Since the start of his professional performing career he has already shared the stage with Australia’s leading and multi-awarded international performers Karen Beckett, Stephen Fisher King, Kel-Anne Brandt and Lisa Crouch. Not to mention Australia’s X-Factor winners Dami Im and Marlisa Ann and Israel X-Factor winner Rose Fostanes. In 2013, Brian started producing his own shows and has received outstanding reviews. With his wonderful voice from heaven and his unique ability to entertain he has created a big fan base and due to widespread requests saw him launch his debut album "It's Time" at his spectacular self produced production show at Rooty Hill RSL in October 2014. Brian has become one of the most sought after Filipino artists in Australia. He can sing, he can dance and he sure can entertain!
