Connection through music can help break down walls, and I intend to integrate music and lyrics into the life coaching and mentoring I offer, when appropriate. With many years of live music experience, some mentoring experience, and qualifications, including a Certificate IV in Chaplaincy and Pastoral Care, Diploma of Youth Work, Diploma of Ministry and Theology, and two Life Coaching Certificates, I am passionate about connecting all of these in empowering ways to positively impact many people’s lives. This is not limited just to the youth; it is also tailored for adults. Visit the home page for more information on the life coaching and mentoring services I currently offer for singles aged 35 and above.

Music has been a massive passion of mine for many years! I have been playing guitar since 1992, in an original band 1999 to 2000, covers bands since 2001, soloist (guitar & vocals) since 2012, worship music since 2012, and some guitar tutoring in-person from 1995 to 2010. I’m also currently working on my songs and some covers to release in the future as Singles, EP and LP etc.

Some artists who have influenced my guitar playing over the years are Richie Sambora (Bon Jovi), Slash (GN’R), Dave Gilmour (Pink Floyd), Jack Jones (S.S), Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Pearl Jam, Jeff Buckley, Ben Harper, Jack Johnson, John Mayer, Muse, Jonny Lang, Lincoln Brewster, Phil Wickham, Third Day, and many others… I listen to many other different styles of music, not just with a guitar focus.

I have learnt 100s of songs in covers bands since 2001. More info at fb.me/PunchlineEntertainmentAus

There are plenty of worship songs in my repertoire, also, which I am super passionate about, including my own songs.

In 2022, I started guitar tutoring online and also included some mentoring. This included recording a video after each session to email students for practice before the next session, all at their own pace and according to their preferences. I live in the Noosa Hinterland near Kin Kin.

I also taught some students to sing and play songs and change the keys of some songs to suit their vocal range. As a baritone singer, I change the keys of many songs for solo gigs.

PLEASE NOTE: I currently work as a part-time school chaplain and have some life coaching clients, along with some music gigs. I have ceased teaching guitar, at least for now, and for life coaching clients there is a waiting list as at September 2025.
