Through The Lens is our weekly series where we highlight current students and faculty, capture them on campus and ask them about their inspirations, advice and beyond.
Musical Memories:
One of my fondest musical memories was when I got to play with some friends as part of a commemoration event on the one year anniversary of the Southern Alberta Floods that ravaged my community. We were given the honor of playing the national anthem for the event, as well as playing a set while food was served. While technical difficulties cut short our set, it is still one of my favorite memories.
Favorite Musicians:
My favorite musicians are all of the outlaws of music. The ones who just do their own thing and play the style that they want to play and aren’t afraid to experiment. Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, Hank Williams Jr., Waylon Jennings, Halestorm, Nickelback, Eric Church, and Brantley Gilbert are all examples of the outlaws I listen to on a regular basis.

Practice Schedule:
My practice schedule is such that I don’t really have a schedule. My mantra for practice has always been that I need to practice enough. There is no time frame or set time every day that I sit down and practice. I just make sure that I do enough to know the music I’m playing and keep my skills sharp.
Why I Chose MI:
MI was my choice of school mainly due to the location. While the reputation of MI speaks for itself, for me, coming from a small Canadian town, the ability to come and live in a very big city was something that I felt would give me a chance to have new experiences, meet people from different walks of life, and find new inspirations.
