We were thrilled that our band, "The Executives" had the opportunity to play on the main stage at the winter Olympics in Vancouver February 2010.

My guitar duo, "Dve Kytary's" debut c.d "Small Talk" was featured on CBC Radio in 2010.

"Dve Kytary" means two guitars in the Czech language (my heritage).

It was exciting that our band, "The Executives" were featured in the North Shore News on July 12, 2007.

"Dve Kytary" has three CDs out, consisting of traditional classical music and folk music from different regions.

It was an honor to be asked to perform at a 30 year wedding anniversary party at The Meadow Gardens Golf Course in Pitt Meadows, 1997.

It's always a pleasure to play at popular club's like The Roxy in Vancouver with my band, "Black Gold Victim" in 2013.

It's always fun to rock out at outdoor venues like the Mountain Bike Festival in Abbotsford, October 2011 with "The Executives."
Fun Fact... this gig was on top of Sumas Mountain. We had to load our gear onto a small trailer and it all got transported up to the top of the mountain by quad.

My biggest supporter, Scampie.
Yes, he endorses Marshall.
He's also a big fan of Debussy and Kate Bush!

Touring was an incredible experience! In 2010, "The Executives " were fortunate to play nine nights across Western Canada at many popular bars and venues.
We performed in Vancouver, Nanaimo, Kamloops, Calgary (three shows), Red Deer, Vernon, and Kelowna. It truly was the time of our lives!

Special guest appearance (the fine gentleman playing the orange guitar) is our engineer, Travis Box.

My very first wedding performance at my sister's wedding, 1991.
My music notes were scattered on the floor as I had no music stand.

In 2009, "The Executives" were deep into recording our debut album when we were offered a gig just two months before Halloween. We were excited to share what we’d been working on, and one of us suggested giving away a free EP at the show (pretty sure that was my idea… lol).

These tracks were the closest to being finished at the time, and the mixes are slightly different from the versions that later appeared on the album.

In 2008, I recorded my first solo classical guitar album. It covered a few tunes from my wedding repertoire, some Royal Conservatory grade 4 tunes, and my own arrangement of "Glenn Miller's Moonlight Serenade."

I played in the thrash metal band "Crucifliction" for nearly five years. In 2019, we recorded the album "KKND" with my "Executives" engineer, Travis Box.
