I started writing songs in my early teens when I got an acoustic guitar by mail order and a Mel Bay chord book. Then I took up piano. I began to write instrumental music when I got a synthesizer and sequencer.

My first music video came out before video shows existed. It debuted on the legendary All Night Show and I was interviewed by Chuck the Security Guard. I made more than a few appearances on City-TV's City Limits with Chris Ward, often playing off his Del Velour schtick.

Four years and two more music videos later, we released the Boob Tube LP independently. By then, The New Music and then MuchMusic were on the air, and CFNY was hot. I was a frequent guest artist on air.

More videos and vinyl product followed, as well as a limited edition video compilation. I also produced and directed videos for other artists, and composed music for soundtracks.

I went from in front of the film and video cameras to behind them as a television producer/writer. I won a couple of science writer's awards, and went on to produce and write the second season of Discovery Channel Canada's Kids@discovery. The theme and some of the background music are mine.

My most recent project is a book that's just been released. It's an all ages fun science quiz book called What Does the Moon Smell Like? It's available from the usual online sellers, and at a book store near you. You can check it out on my site.
