Today, his repertoire spans many genres, including folk, rock, blues, country, Celtic, traditional, and pop.

In 2022, he held the position of resident lounge musician at the Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge in Alberta. Presently, he can be found performing throughout Victoria BC, both as part of the duo Second Fiddle and as a solo artist.
