ABOUT ME

I'm a writer and web developer at a men's magazine in Toronto. I spend a lot of time buried in books, but not as much as I'd like. Very interested in media and technology, and the changes in culture as these things merge. Big news junkie, love to know what's going on in the world. Simple and easy going, very cheerful. I like to smile and laugh big.

I spent 3 years treeplanting in Northern Ontario which has really shaped my identity. You camp and live out of a tent and work 10 hour days in the wilderness. It's backbreaking work, but it makes me really happy.

PHILOSOPHY

Do work. Do things that are uncomfortable.
