I have been playing music since I was five years old. After a brief stint with an accordian I received classical training on the Piano. I endured a lot of Royal Conservatory tests throughout the years. Then I picked up a guitar. I always wanted to learn how to play one. I am self taught on six string acoustic and electric guitars.   

I was born and raised in Southern Ontario around an area Ontarians call "The Greater Toronto Area (GTA). In the 1990's I felt the pull to "Go West". I travelled to every major western  city in Canada (including Whitehorse). I decided to create roots in Calgary. I called Calgary "home" for several years. I love Western Canada!

It was there that I solidified my affection for Country Music. "Watching bands play the Western circuit in those years was a thrill. I worked in a major club stop in Calgary. I saw Doc Walker, Emerson Drive, Julian Austin, Ron Griffin's "Cripple Creek" (with Jason Barry), Brett Barrow with the veteran guitar player for Terri Clark (Craig Young), and the ever popular Brent Lee perform with love and conviction for their craft."

I am a proud member of SOCAN , NSAI , CMAO, and the CCMA and also held membership in OCPFA . Finally, I have created a new jurisdiction of NSAI presence in Ontario; an NSAI Regional Chapter:  Waterloo / London
