This year has been an exciting year on many fronts. I have been in the studio for the past 3 months recording my 1st CD ever, Thanks to some amazing students at Kelowna's Arts and Technology College I am finally fullfilling a dream I have had since I was 17 yrs. old. The album is a collection of my songs and will be entitled "Invisible". It will be dedicated to the many wonderful, inspiring folks I have met over the years who call the streets their home.
I continue to spend time in shelters and detox centres sharing music and food (Shepherd's Pie). My "Guitars Across Canada" program just recently donated the 30th guitar to an area shelter. This program continues to excite me on so many levels.
And lastly the greatest news is that my daughter Fiona gave birth to my 1st grandson, Maxwell on September 2nd. This is a double miracle as my daughter is also a 5 year breast cancer survivor.

My Simple Mission Statement
1. Provide food for the belly
2. Music for the heart
3. A non-judgemental listening ear to those that are often unheard and invisible
4. To donate guitars to youth centres or shelters that can ensure safe storage and multiple users
5. To Advocate on behalf of the homeless and impoverished across Canada


I invite you to involve yourself, your friends, and families in doing your part in assisting those who need our comfort, encouragement and support. I simply ask that you open your eyes in your community and look for ways to make someone's day a little easier.
