Thank you for dropping in for a visit.
I am a singer/songwriter from Calgary, Alberta, Canada.  I have a passion for songwriting and have spent years working at my craft  and loving the challenges of exploring a wide variety of styles and subject matter.  
I am a 'late bloomer!'  My motto is that it is never too late to bloom!
I do not have a single style that can describe my music.  I love to take a song idea and look for the best way to tell the story.  For this reason my songs end up in an interesting variety of styles.
I hope you enjoy my music.  Check out where I am performing.  I'd love to see you at a concert or special event.
Drop in again!!
