5 years ago today, Invictus Games
I had the pleasure of setting up the first Invictus games in Canada by Prince Harry. I remember this was all done overnight the night before and we spent the entire night setting up. Definitely have some stories.

Hey everyone, I just wanted to thank whoever has come to look at my site. I’ve recently seen a few new followers and I absolutely appreciate all of you as well!! These are the things that are going to keep making this site better. I want to personally thank people like Brent Kobayashi and Arthur Tutt from Kobayashi+Zeitguys and ArthurTutt.com who were there for me at the beginning of the pandemic and have been supportive the whole time.
This is a time of reflection and moving forward. I plan on not only looking back and appreciating the people who have helped and checked this site out along the way. But also the people that followed and contacted me about work this year. I’m super excited to be working with an amazing artist Jessica Karuhanga as well as the amazing PUSH.Pull Cabaret series, this year. As well as some awesome stuff coming up with the wonderful Karen Cann that will be released next month, stay tuned for that. I want to thank everyone else who I’ve missed in this message and I look forward to creating some amazing content with you all soon.

More than just the music…
I guess there has never been an explanation for this tagline. I’ve used it on this website and it sounds pretty good, but what is the actual meaning? I guess it’s time that I open up a little. I originally was planning on making music the main attraction to this website and to my life to be honest. Along the years I came across new technology, I became a stagehand and an audio visual technician where I was involved in creating these amazingly huge performances. That made me realize that although I do consider myself to be a musician, I am much more than that. I have evolved into so many other things, been flexible and followed true enjoyment. I have moved from writing poems, to writing lyrics. Strumming chords to writing songs and performing in bands and orchestras, choirs. Working in factories, to working with Audio Speakers, lighting and video walls, to setting up boardrooms and conferences, to setting up stages for some of the biggest names in musical history. To now bringing online broadcasting skills to media companies and festivals. Needless to say, that it is… More than just the music.
If you are interested in any of my services, a voice over, intro music for your own podcast, help with your own website, help with anything. Drop me a line and lets connect.

So it was 3 years ago this weekend that I had set up staging, lights, audio and a video wall for a fab dance competition, ON THE FLOOR. The wonderful Mitch Jackson and Lisa Hupe started this great dance competition so that kids had a chance to dance and explore themselves. I always had a wonderful time with everyone involved and became quite passionate about its success. I do feel like I had become part of the team. Here’s to great memories.

Create your own inspiration
When I started years ago I really wanted to be a part of production. I really wanted to be behind the scenes and also create some amazing stuff that people are intrigued about. I feel now that the best way to get to the place that you want to be is to take the small steps towards that goal. It may not lead you exactly to where you imagine, but it will lead you to a place where you will feel good about the decisions you’ve made. Or at least you will feel like you are getting closer to your end goal. Life is about constantly trying to achieve these goals we set for ourselves. Just make sure that you are going after the goals you are setting.
