About Me

My Interests

MUSIC is a huge part of my humble existance. It constantly surrounds me and inspires me in everything I do. Its soothes my soul, uplifts my spirit and enriches my life. In my lifetime I have been blessed to be exposed to real music lovers and musical innovators, some of whom are in my friends list. I can't tell you how much these people mean to me and inspire me. My 2nd love is TRAVEL, visiting new places and re-visiting familiar ones. I have have travelled somewhat extensively but 808 STATE, namely MAUI is where my heart is.PHOTOGRAPHY - is a passion of mine... for those that know me WELL, you understand what this means... nuff said.I volunteer with the Canadian Cancer Society and the MAKE A WISH Foundation. If you are interested in ways to get involved, please please please do not hesitate to contact me!
