My Day Job
I'm a Junior High Math and Science teacher who loves what I'm doing very much. At the same time, I've told many, many people that my job seems to exist only to fund my music passion. I've been playing bass since 1976 (which puts me in grade seven.... do the math if you'd like) and enjoy it more now than ever. I love how new things learned on the instrument bring me both a high degree of satisfaction and encouragement to "keep at it."
The gear I'm presently playing include:
a Dingwall Super J (an incredible instrument!), a G & L ASAT, a Fender Fretless Jazz, and an Ashdown Evo II 500 Combo amp.
The gear that I'm intrigued with and dream about would be very long, but would include:
a Dingwall Prima Artist, any Sadowsky, Aguilar Amps, and that hard to find 1963 Fender Jazz Bass sitting at a garage sale for $200.00......

My Experience
I've played with various rock and jazz bands in the Edmonton area over the last few years. I have also been fairly active in the Praise and Worship circles here. I'm presently rehearsing with friends for an upcoming CD and gigs, writing, and recording demo projects for local artists. My newest musical goal is to have a CD collection of bass-only tunes, which I'm in the process of working on in my little studio. I hope to share some of them with you in the future.
