About

I grew up in Burlington, Ontario. After high school I attended McMaster University, where I completed bachelor’s degrees in music and mechatronics engineering. After graduating I worked in automation, then returned to McMaster for a Master of Engineering Design, specializing in product design and electronics.

I founded Helix Brass Mouthpieces by combining my experience in music, technology and design, with the goal of offering ordinary musicians the most customizable brass mouthpieces in the world.

I also built and ran NavAv, a scheduling web app used by 35 organizations over ten years.

I work as a musician and project manager in the Royal Canadian Naval Reserve, where I perform and teach across Canada and at home in Ottawa.
