I started playing guitar after I heard the car crash in Kiss' Detroit Rock City and thought that if a guitar could make those sounds, I gotta learn it!

It didn't take me long to figure out that those sounds weren't actually made by a guitar, but by that time I was already hooked.

​

I played in multiple bands throughout highschool and attended Berklee College of Music in Boston. I dropped out of music school, but never dropped music. Over the decades, music has given me an outlet for my creativity and a way to connect and collaborate with others. Rock & Roll truly saved my soul.

It's been a longtime dream to facilitate a youth rock camp and I'm glad it's happening in Sooke. I grew up in a small town like Sooke and know firsthand the struggles facing kids who don't fit into conventional programs. Some of us are just born to rock.
