-==Future==
-''"I'm into music for the long haul and intend to play as long as I can. I want to continue to record my own albums, develop my sax playing, singing and writing and look for new musical possibilities. I'd like to record a new album every year or so and build my following through Canada and beyond. I also want to help the Edmonton jazz music scene continue to develop its players and help them gain more recognition nationally."''
