I grew up in music—piano, drums, and tenor saxophone—with extensive experience in jazz bands, concert bands, samba band, and the Ontario Provincial Honour Band. At the University of Guelph, I studied Computer Engineering and fell in love with electronic dance music at local clubs. I apply deep music & technology theory and my tech sales background to craft sets that connect, energize, and move people.
From classic rock and metal to pop, dance, and electronic, my influences span decades and genres. That range lets me read the room and build a journey—smooth transitions, tasteful drops, and the right record at the right time.
