Educated at the Royal Conservatory of Music, McGill University, Montreal and the University of Toronto, I retired in 2001 after a 35 year career as a musical theatre conductor, singer, and educator, the last twelve years as Dean of Arts at Sheridan College, Oakville, Ontario.

After retiring, my wife, Ruth and I purchased a townhouse in Burlington, Ontario overlooking a ravine.
I serve as President of that condominium corporation, also home to 7 other artists. I write a column for the Hamilton Spectator, reviewing crime fiction by Canadian writers. (Search for Canadian mystery reviews at www.thespec.com). I also serve on the jury for the Arthur Ellis award for outstanding Canadian crime writing.

I am a member of the Burlington Art Centre, the Burlington Fine Art Guild and Hamilton Artists Inc. My paintings are held by private collectors in Ontario, Quebec and New York as well as by corporate sponsor, Interprovincial Corrosion Control of Burlington.
