We left Camrose, Alberta when I was five, and went from a closet-sized kitchen to a house in the mountains.

Since June 2016 it's passed 102,900 downloads, averaging over 300 per episode.

SAIT's course was full, so I scored my own YouTube videos at home. That led to four Best Original Score awards.

I wrote content, social posts, and graphics for the site and its network, including Guitar Aficionado.

It was the first book I put on every major online bookstore, and it became one of my best-sellers.
- Guitar teachingTook my guitar teacher's job and found it drained me
I picked up guitar at 17. Teaching was part of my income for 10+ years, but it ate the time I needed to make music.
