About Me


Im Canadian. born, but not raised. Lived in Canada for a year, then moved to Chicago for 5. Then at six years old, moved to New Jersey, grown up with the Jersey Shore since '87 (Long Beach Island) and just recently moved to Philadephia to start the next chapter in my life.

Music is in my blood. It's a gift and talent i know not to waste. My bandmates and I plan on taking our music to the next level in the music industry, something i have really dreamt of doing in my previous musical projects. I've been in a few bands in the past, with the guitar being my primary instrument (12 years) but this new band has brought me to the center stage as lead singer and guitarist. (yes, it's more pressure, but im no longer nervous up on stage ;) )
Besides the musical aspect of my life, I LOVE the shore, and any place where there's water, a nice tropical island is fine with me. I surf any chance i get... preferably Long Beach Island...
Snowboarding is a serious interest as well. Trips to Hunter Mountain in NYState during the winter, and a 7 day trip with my closest friends to Whistler, BC was just absolutely amazing. Best trip ive been on with some of my closest friends. Couldn't have asked for a better time.
This past year has been really good to me in terms of traveling, another passion of mine. I need to get out there to explore other areas of the world. I've been all over the map in the US, but have also traveled different areas of Canada... London, Paris, Holland, Sweden, and Italy.
