I'm a pianist and composer fortunate enough to have shared the stage with many incredible artists from around the world, including jazz legends and prominent Canadian musicians. I've been lucky enough to play on over 60 albums, and have performed at Royal Albert Hall, The North Sea Jazz Festival, The Blue Note Jazz Club in Tokyo Japan, the Tel Aviv Center for Performing Arts, and was a music director at The Second City in Toronto. I'm currently leading several projects: Eurostar, a trio with French musicians Chris Jennings and Patrick Goraguer, and a duo collaboration with vocalist Jessica Lalonde exploring cross-genre interpretations and arrangements of classic songs. I'm thrilled to be on faculty at Wilfrid Laurier University's music program. I’ve been working intensively with post-secondary music students for over twenty year and I'm grateful for the opportunity to share my passion for music with others.

Laurier’s faculty of music is a truly rich environment. I’m not aware of any other post-secondary music program in Canada that offers such a vast and comprehensive array of musical opportunities for aspiring young artists. I’m excited to be a part of the action.
