You and I are wonderfully dysfunctional

About Me


I'm a 25-year-old Christian musician from Alberta, Canada. I was born in Camrose and I currently reside in Calgary of the same province. I grew up in Japan, where I went to public school and learned to read, write, and speak the native tongue. I always enjoyed music, but I became interested in pursuing a career at age 15, and took up the guitar at 17. After getting my Certificate of Discipleship in College, I started teaching guitar at a local music shop and I've been teaching at various locations ever since. I also released my first solo album, Shipwrecked… My Sentiments, in September 2006. I've done my fair share of performing and recording, and I've also played guitar in a number of bands. I'm currently working with a band called Angels Breaking Silence, and we will likely be doing a lot of performing and recording in the near future. In my spare time I enjoy watching movies, listening to music, going for walks and writing. I'm currently recovering from an anxiety condition and this has a put a stop to my previous busy and stressful lifestyle. To read more about my journey, please visit my blog .
