What I do
Work
Red Deer Community for Jazz Music
Founded in 2022. Incorporated non-profit, entirely volunteer-run, with no municipal, provincial or federal funding — it runs on ticket sales, memberships, the store and a small number of sponsors.
Behind the Scene: Live Jazz in Red Deer
A television series filmed and produced for TELUS STORYHIVE Voices. Selected and funded in 2024, then again in 2025 as a returning second season. It is distributed on TELUS Optik TV, Stream+ and the STORYHIVE YouTube channel.
Performing
