- Their debut album (certified gold in Canada) launched the group's career to rock fans around the world, leading them to tour with rock legends Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Cheap Trick, etc
- Similar to working with Goddo, I was responsible for taking care of the band's instruments; one of Andy Curran's Precision basses was a personal gift from Steve Harris of Iron Maiden, and it was a cool experience to work with this iconic guitar
- My responsibilities included loading in/setting up the band's equipment (guitars, amplifiers, drum kit) tuning guitars, taking care of string changes, doing guitar changes throughout the show, packing up all the equipment and loading out of the venue after the show

Audio Engineer
Chalet Studio
11.2023 - Current
- As a freelance audio engineer based out of Toronto, one of the studios I work out of is Chalet Studio.
- Chalet is one of the most iconic studios in Canada; most notably for being the choice of rock legends Rush to do a four album recording period. This included albums "Presto", "Roll The Bones", "Counterparts", and "Test For Echo"
- Barenaked Ladies, Platinum Blonde, The Tea Party, Crown Lands, Blue Rodeo and many others have all recorded at Chalet.
- The Glorious Sons were recently at Chalet to do a record, and I helped them load in their gear into the studio, and I was there on standby to assist with anything the band needed
- In April of 2023 I recorded my full-length album "Dreaming Of A Nightmare" here, which is soon to be released. Drums and bass were done live off the floor. The rest of the production was done at my home studio
- In November of 2023, I engineered for local Uxbridge pop/rock duo Anderson Chester. I recorded vocals, drums, percussion, organ, and guitars for their debut 13 song album "Ecstasy Tears"
