I am a dynamic and emotional Okotoks Alberta/Mazatlan Sinaloa based artist who plays a wide range of covers (about 700), from 50's to current, Pop, Rock and Country, plus a large catalogue of original music in multiple styles.

I cut my teeth in Winnipeg Manitoba and became one of the cities premier bands, winning multiple grants and awards.
In 2004 I moved to Calgary Alberta to pursue my original music and be close to family. I played in Calgary for about 10 years, before moving to Okotoks Alberta which instantly became home!
In February of 2018, with help of a friend, I made the decision to go to and check out Mazatlan Mexico and play some music. I knew I had found second home immediately! It started with one month, then two, then three, then 6, then 8 ongoing!
So to me I found the perfect life, winters in Mexico, summers in Canada.
I play roughly 220 shows a year and have been doing so for about 23 years! I love it as much today as I ever have!
Musically, I'm sort of know as the “One Man Band”! On top of guitar and vocals, I have incorporated foot drums, harmonica and vocal pedals to sound more like a group.
I perform solo in Canada and split my time in Mexico, playing on my own as well as with my guitar player Nanno Salin.
