Over time, some of my creative interests have ebbed and flowed, with various projects in woodworking, stained glass, and pottery. I've always been drawn to playing the guitar and writing music, and studied for two years at Capilano University in the Jazz and Commercial Music Program in North Vancouver, B.C. In addition, I play the piano and bass, as well being a percussion programmer. For information regarding music composition and recording for film and other work, please write to me via the contact page on my website:

My music is available for streaming and download at the usual sites such as Amazon Music, iTunes, Google Music Store, Spotify, etc.

My love of photography began in 1970 when I bought my first SLR (the Konica AutoReflex T) in New York while en route to Europe. My latest camera - the Nikon D810 - has piqued my interest in looking for new perspectives. My images have been award winning, and have been featured on multiple occasions in artistic showcases in such venues as the National Geographic, Nikon Canada, Global TV B.C., CTV Montreal, the Vancouver Sun newspaper, the Boston Herald, as well as street banners. It has also been displayed in the TV series Letterkenny, which is shown on Crave TV, as well as Hulu and The Comedy Network. My work has sold internationally, and recent clients include the Marriott Hotels, Hyatt Hotels, Government of Canada, City of Port Coquitlam, BC Hydro, the Keg chain, leading Interior Design firms, luxury builders such as Boffo Developments, and Mosaic Homes. I've had a lot of enjoyment in capturing these images, and hope they will resonate with you.
