About Me


My love of music, the underlying passion for artistic expression and freedom runs deep in an earnest attempt to create emotionally charged, meaningful music.
I can remember, even before I could walk, sitting in my Uncle's rec room staring at the drums while my brothers, sisters and cousins ran around the room sampling the wide variety of instruments he had collected.
Drums became my life in my mid-teens, but then something strange happened one night at a club in Vancouver. As I danced with a girlfriend of mine, I watched the guitarist pounding out bar chords. As drunk as I was at the time, I remembered the structure and tried it the next morning.
That morning I wrote my first song.
In my pursuit of my music career, I've travelled throughout North America meeting great people from all walks of life. I've had the pleasure of meeting and becoming friends with many great musicians and artists.
Throughout my career, I've recorded many demos with musicians who have played with the likes of Triumph, Richie Blackmore, Ronnie James Dio and Rainbow, Max Webster, The Payolas, Loverboy, Bryan Adams, Tears for Fears, Toto, Super Tramp and Ray Charles.
And now, I am ready to release my music to the world
