About Me

I grew up in Canada and spent my adult life living between China and the United States. After working in foreign-language education, import-export, musical instruments & technology, and media management, I finally settled on public education. I currently teach high school History in The Bronx where I am using digital media to integrate the Global History curriculum with Literacy instruction for special needs students. I continue to work as a music producer, songwriter, and musician. In 2000, while living in Beijing, I produced the record BEIJING BAND 2001, which I am really proud of. This past summer I also played an impromptu show in Beijing with XIAO FAN which was a lot of fun (see links below). I now live in Long Island with my wife and daughter, writing and recording music, as well as consulting for Chinese musical acts doing business in the United States and Europe. See Al Gore's AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH. Eat Hot Fish.
