My origin story

I grew up in the burbs of Edmonton and Toronto, then studied English Literature before pivoting to Political Science.

I freelanced as a web designer for years. (So I can post directly to WordPress, Squarespace, Wix, and the rest.)

I drove across America in an overheating Honda Civic—during the dog days of summer—en route to grad school.

I hung my hat in Nagano for 18 months, then boomeranged back to "The Van", where I joyously lived 4 blocks from the beach.

While a Technical Writer at Canada's nth largest energy company, I studied copywriting at BCIT and Simon Fraser University.

Then I re-crossed the Pacific to headhunt for Big Tech in Tokyo, my third Olympic host city.

Clients ranged from software and semiconductors to solar and steel. And that's just the S's.

More about me?

I keep saying I'll read more biographies.

I love walkable cities.

I sold my car years ago and haven't owned an automobile since.

I escaped Tokyo right before social distancing became the norm.

My short story was published in an online literary journal in June '21. I've written 4 novels and published one. It's under a pen name, but just ask and I'll tell you.

I take pictures. Mostly of mundanery such as doors, awnings, and rust.

My photography slideshows were a regular part of a live jazz/hip-hop jam session in Tokyo.

And I put out a book on Tokyo mailboxes.

I'm also a:

• big fan of the em-dash (before AI)
• firm believer in brevity
• below-knee amputee

I'm a great writer and storyteller. I'm good at cutting out the fluff—or adding it when requested.
