“Unofficial Bio”

I was born in Kelowna B.C. but now live in Fredericton N.B. with my wife. I grew up in a very musical family and lived in Germany briefly as a child. I am a Canadian-German duo citizen but am a bit embarrassed to say that I didn’t keep up with the German language and can barely speak it now…

The watercolorist Joseph Zbukvic inspired me as much as any musician had when I started to paint. Covid hit the scene and there were no music venues open or shows happening. A new passion developed.

I started out as a drummer at age 5 - my dad had brought home a kit - and I picked up a guitar at age 10. I sang badly for awhile. In high school The Smashing Pumpkins, Radiohead and Bob Dylan changed my life. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to stop listening to The Beatles.

The dream is to paint by day and play music by night. If I get there I'll be very lucky...
