About Me

After I fall out of bed each day, I spend several hours programming the music for Victoria's 100.3 The Q -- The Island's Rock. While I'm doing that, I'm listening to the ever-more-towering pile of CDs sitting on my desk, which usually reaches almost to the moon. That's good, though, because I also do a little thing called The New Music Lab on our website and on KICK FM in Winnipeg Manitoba, and if I don't feed it its weight in new music every week, it starts to get cranky. In that regard, it's a lot like me.
In between all of that, I do our daily technology show, cyberworld dot ca , which also airs on KICK in Winnipeg, KYOU in San Francisco and as a podcast on iTunes. Phew. --- Nerd Alert
And I rock the west coast on The Q Saturdays and Sundays from 6am til noon.

My Interests

I'm having an affair with my 1999 Yamaha Virago 1100 Special Edition. Particularly on sunny days. My mountain bike is therefore pissed at me. Maybe I should buy it some flowers.
If there's a good picture waiting to be taken, I'll usually try and take it.
Other than that, music pretty well rules me at this point.

Whoever hit my car and cost me three hundred bucks for a new sideview mirror =)

Heroes:

Neil Peart, for exemplifying grace under pressure.
Bruce Cockburn, for not letting fame and fortune push his humanitarianism aside.
Basil The Cat, for his unconditional love and willingness to put up with me. RIP, buddy. I miss you more than you'll ever know, you furry little devil.
