About Me

I have been involved in music in some way shape or form all of my life. I played my first professional gig when I was 14 and I never looked back. The Bass has been and always will be my axe of choice, but recently I have been playing Trumpet. I am living in Guelph, and have been working with the band METHODOLOGY for the past 6 years. Check them out at www.myspace.com/methodologymusic.

Aside from my music life I spend all of my time with my beautiful wife Meghan and my new baby girl Chloe. They are the best thing that ever happened to me. I feel so blessed to have a beautiful family and home.
I spend my days as my alter-ego Mr. Austin, a humble school music teacher in Guelph. I love being a teacher and would never give it up for any other job in the world.
