About Me

Hmm... Let's see, shall we? Ok, the short of it is this.... I was born just north of Toronto, CANADA and am now living in the city as a recording engineer. The gap in between is too long to recount. I've spent the last 20 years steeped in music, doing alot of playing and producing/engineering. Spent ten years at Reaction Studios making music for others, now I freelance and do it for myself and friends. Life is good. I'm in a few bands that I really dig these days - one being a band called Junetile (melancholic, pretty pop music) - a semi fictional, but kickass, alt country band called Burt Reynolds - and the other being called the Faceless Forces of Bigness. That one is an experimental, long form noise/visual band. Lots of blips and beeps. Ohh, and when I've been good, I get to play with the wonderous We're Marching On... And I play in another band called the Dinghies too. All amazing to be a part of. What else do I need to say to provide the perfect balance of ambiguity to this? Maybe nothing?

My Interests
