Please feel free to check out our website at *VERVE Collective*, where you can find out about the kinds of gigs we do and take a peek at our current r ...Continue Reading

January 12, 2010 Happy New Year! It's not quite mid-month yet and I've already had two great singing gigs this year. The first was for a very successful sold-out evening of Voices of A'Cappella, put on by In The House Festival. It was a fun evening and my group, Verve Collective, was one of three groups featured that night. The house rocked with music to a very appreciative crowd and I'm so ...Continue Reading

Hi! I know - two emails from me within 24 hours... what more could I possibly want to tell you? Well, I figure being the kind of actor/performer I am (the kind who likes to fill you in on what's going on in my little life, just on the off-chance that you're available and could come check things out), that it's OK. :) Pretty much after I sent you my New's Letter yesterday (viewable here), we got notified that the Giants wanted to schedule us for a different Feb date, so I just wanted to let you know ...Continue Reading

February 5, 2009 Hi there! Goodness, it's February already, and if I heard correctly, the groundhog says we're due for some more winter. Well, this winter season has been pretty good, so I don't really mind. Here are some of the fun things I've been up to recently. I booked & shot two commercials. Yay! Thanks for the shout outs from those of you who have seen the BC Hydro "Storm Watch" one! I'm not sure ...Continue Reading

I can't believe it's already 2009... where does the time go? 2008 finished up quite nicely, as I shot two commercials in December (yay!), had some great holiday time with family, and helped my very good friend with her beautiful winter wedding! Ending 2008 and starting 2009 surrounded by love and good friends... well, what a way to ring in the new year! ...Continue Reading
