One of my favorite hobbies is playing, writing, performing and recording music. I have been involved in various musical projects in the past 12 years and have done many live performances, written and co-written many songs, been in the recording studio and have played on about 20 songs and co-produced many, played drums on a 5 song CD for The Weston Willbury's
, played on and co-produced a rockin' roll

and have been on stage in almost every club in our town! Click

to hear a song I wrote and recorded on a friends 8 track adat machine. I play drums, bass, guitar and vocals. Since moving to British Columbia from Toronto, Ontario in 1992, I have played in a few projects. I am currently working with 2 of Canada's finest musicians on a record deal and a 12 song CD! I also have 3 other projects I am currently developing. My home recording studio is now completed and a host of "talented" musicians will soon lay down some hot tracks.
