Hey, I’m David Andrew Wiebe and I make things.
My website and writing are simple on purpose. I don’t want people to “miss the point for the writing around it.”
I’m an author, entrepreneur and musician.
I love to create. I love to learn. I love adventure.
I’m living the nomadic life. I currently live in Abbotsford, BC, Canada.
I founded Music Entrepreneur HQ and co-founded The Indie YYC.
I’ve been interviewed a few times.
Here is what others have said about me.
My 3 words for 2020 are Completion, Curation and Synthesize. And, here are my goals.
That’s all I wish to say about myself here, but if you want to go deeper, you can peruse my About page.
Catstar Images does my photos. Thanks!
