About Me

Although my first love is music (rock, metal, bluze, jazz, classical!) in all its various forms, I've also dedicated myself to being a journalist having worked and continuing to work in various media (print, radio and television broadcasting). I produced a number of radio and television shows through the years that have garnered me a bit of notoriety. One of my favorite pasttimes was producing and hosting a weekly 7 hour extreme metal radio programme out of Vancouver's Co-op Radio called SHOCKWAVE. I produced that gem for eight years until just prior to moving back to Winnipeg (to be with my childhood sweetie!) where I'm currently looking for a venue to be able to inject some of that fine metal into the skulls of the legions on the central plains!! A former single parent whose adult son has left the nest and struck on his own. Also the father of two younger gentlemen who were absconded and abducted by their mother to regions unknown. Hope to find them someday while the search continues... ..This profile was edited with MySpace Profile Editor MySpace Profile Editor
