After bouncing across the country playing music for most of a decade, he landed in the University of Lethbridge Fine Arts Department, which led to work managing exhibitions with the Southern Alberta Art Gallery and the National Music Centre in Calgary. Over the years he has always kept one foot in the world of freelance writing, penning articles on a variety of topics that grab his interest, and he continues to work on independent curatorial and music projects during the spare moments in between.
