Born and raised in Toronto, Canada,I’m a Juno Award nominee who has a lifelong calling as a pianist/composer and songwriter coupled with a career as an entrepreneur and educator. “Just do it” was my philosophy long before Nike adopted it as their mantra. As a “Keynote Artist”, I underscore the emotional aspects my keynote addresses with original songs that I perform at the piano. My latest achievement is publishing my book, “Quiet Determination, unlocking the gates to unlimited success” My first business as an entrepreneur was founding the Toronto High School for the Performing Arts. It was the first school of it’s kind in Canada, pairing the study of the performing arts with academics.
