My name is Joel and I hail from Prince George, British Columbia, Canada. I studied Environmental Science at the University of Northern British Columbia and now work as an Environmental Supervisor for the pulp and paper industry in my community. I love music, especially singing and playing the guitar. CSers who like to jam are my favorite

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I played bass guitar in different bands, ranging from death metal to reggae and I think recording albums and touring are some of my proudest accomplishments. HELLFEST in Clisson, France was the most recent, amazing thing I've seen.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would be happy to give guitar/vocal lessons to anyone who wants to learn.... just drop me a line.
