I'm a life long music fan - I've always loved listening to, collecting and playing music. I am a retired radio announcer and DJ. My last stop was the AM580 CKWW Morning Show Host in Windsor Ontario/Detroit Michigan. I've had a couple great radio stops at CKLW The Big 8 Detroit and 1050 CHUM Toronto.

My creative energies also encompass photography - a passion I got from my dad. I love concert photography and have a portfolio that includes Neil Young, The Beach Boys, Jeff Beck, Sarah MacLachlan, Diana Krall, Steely Dan, Foreigner and more. Check them out on my flickr page.

Photography and a long time interest in Photoshop go hand in hand and I love creating digital art and graphic design work.

Years ago I taught myself guitar by ear and aimed at learning piano and proper theory. For the last four years I have plodded ahead with keyboard studies and can read music and play more than a few tunes.

If I'm not recording voice audio, playing music or snapping photos I'm on the golf course trying to get my game back in gear.
