I’m speaking with Canadian singer, songwriter, keynote speaker, school and business workshop facilitator, sailor and most recently rower. Over the course of his career, he has created multiple programs that expanded his audiences, helped him get widespread media coverage and allowed him to use his songwriting, recording and producing skills.
