Attempting to let the music just happen, instead of forcing it through my preconceived notions of what a good song should be.

In 1998 up until the beginning of 2005, I played in two different bands locally in Lethbridge Alberta. As a lead guitarist, back up vocalist and co-songwriter in the Delusions of Grandeur and as lead vocalist, songwriter and rhythm guitarist in The Ascetics.

Since then I've been working solo. In 2007 I released my first full length album. I'm proud of it but, things didn't go as planned.

I wish I could say that the last 8 years were full of shows and tours, but I can't. As we all know "life" has a way of putting things on the back burner sometimes. Well the plan for the rest of 2013 and 2014 is to get my shit off the back burner and headed towards the dinner table!

For the last few years I've been working on many songs that I am very excited about. I'm planning on recording another album in the spring of 2014. "Heedlessness" is the first complete song and might be used as the lead single. But we'll see.
