In 2001 he moved to CFQR-FM (Q92) in Montreal where he is currently the on air host from 9 a.m. - 3 p.m. Monday to Friday.
He actually began his voice over career before his professional radio career. His career was born while studying at John Abbott College in the Creative Arts department and volunteering at the campus radio station Q-SKY (named after the famed radio station in the film FM), when he was approached by the McGill Dental School to play the animated "Mr. Mouth" in an educational video for children.

As a commercial voice over artist he has helped to sell everything from toilet paper to military hardware.
And as a narrator he has worked on documentary film's, industrial video's and online training (or elearning) courses.
Aside from his "TV promo" voice work which he continues to do on TV stations throughout Canada and the U.S., for a time he was an on-camera weather presenter on The Weather Network (1993-1994)
He began playing and performing music at 9 years of age playing the trumpet, then trombone, then piano and then settling on drums and percussion as his performance instrument. Classically trained to read and write music he began pursuing music professionally at the age of 13. Through his teens and early 20's he performed with rock bands, punk bands, jazz bands, big bands and orchestras. Working as a session drummer in and around Montreal he had the opportunity to experiment with many different styles of music. In the end however, the pull of a broadcasting career won him over and in 1990 he abandoned his music career. Despite broadcasting taking much of his time, he continues to write and record in his home studio, currently experimenting with electronic/ambient music.
