He has become a familiar figure on the local jazz scene around Toronto, but has also toured extensively throughout North America, and to international destinations including Malaysia, Italy, and Russia. Trombonist/bandleader Dave McMurdo calls him “an explosive musical force, an exquisite purveyor of colour and groove, a beautifully rounded player…”

He is a member of the Music Faculties of both McMaster University and Mohawk College in Hamilton, Ontario.
