Francis is the man behind the beat in King Friday. He started playing drums at a relatively late age and seems to be a natural at hitting the skins.

"My parents really encouraged me to play the drums alot but once I started getting any good at it and taking my drums out of the house to play with other people, they never wanted me to set them back up in their house." Fortunately Francis has since got married to his sweetheart Sarah and are now living with their two beautiful children in Belle River. Someday we'll be able to jam there again.

Francis is the proprietor of his own computer sales business, Essex County Computers, in Belle River, Ontario. He also is the LAN/WAN supervisor for the Essex County French Separate School Board.
