He’s also a speaker, singer and seeker of wonder.He is also the former host of a nightly national jazz program called Tonic on CBC Radio 2.

He left CBC to study positive psychology and Ikigai (life's worth) with a year long "Ikigai year".He has learned that his personal Ikigai is "to delight" and he now offer keynotes, workshops and music performances to share his Ikigai.Ultimately, he was also asked to speak at TedxYYC and his presentation was on how to Ikigai!
