As a teacher at Laurier, I bring over 4 decades experience as a drummer, composer, bandleader, and educator to my practice. I have worked with a vast number of Canadian and International artists such as Rob McConnell and the Boss Brass, Jeff Healey, Bob Newhart, David Liebman, and Jerry Bergonzi, to name a few. I have an extensive discography as both a side musician and leader and have been featured on the video game Cuphead as well as performing on the soundtrack to CTV’s Bombgirls.
