Started a lifelong love for music recording and production when I purchased a Tascam PortaStudio 144 to begin recording demo tapes of my original compositions. When Ocean Sound studios moved from North Vancouver to their new location I was given an opportunity to trade time worked in the construction for studio hours. Through the process of recording six songs at the facility with various studio musicians, I was also given an introduction to the analog recording process.After a few years hiatus I returned to composing and recording in the late 90’s, but this time dabbling with loop based material on the computer. As computing power and the available digital audio workstations improved I started to relearn the art of audio recording but this time in a digital domain.And now that I’ve retired from my coding career, I have built myself a fairly complete studio. I enjoy spending time composing, arranging and recording. As well as my own material I’ve worked on a few collaborative projects.

Initially worked in IT departments for engineering companies doing the background coding for their GIS systems. Developed a flair for working with financial systems and finished my coding career working on realtime financial systems. All coding was done using Visual Studio .NET but also dabbled with code for mobile applications.

Started as a manual drafter and morphed into computer drafting when AutoCAD first started out (Version 1.4). Worked on many high profile projects in the Lower Mainland and overseas, including BC Place Stadium, the Fraser Regional Correctional Centre, Expo 86, the Coquihalla Highway and the Advanced Light Rapid Transit (ALRT) system.
