When I first heard the Jimi Hendrix LP Axis Bold as Love, I knew I had to learn to play the guitar. The next few years were very frustrating. I could never make my Harmony arch-top, acoustic guitar sound like Jimi, but I've been playing ever since. Music has always been a large part of my life.

My first real job was teaching music. In fact I first started writing tunes the year I worked as a music teacher, writing a musical with some of the students at the school. I eventually moved into regular classroom teaching. I finished my career as a music teacher.

I always kept involved with playing guitar and writing tunes, playing in local bands in Vancouver.

I'm involved in two other great musical projects, The The Here and Now, and The Group Therapy I'm still excited to discover new musical territory.
