About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To get some new stories and share the ones I got.

ABOUT ME

I was born in the UK, but my family moved to the mountains of BC when I was still a wee bairn. I love being Canadian and love sharing in the awesome experiences our country has to offer to the world. I'm a recent University graduate and now I spend my time writing screenplays (sometimes my friends and I even get around to filming them), hanging out with friends, and generally trying to indulge in everything funny, silly, and wacky. I'm an outdoors-type, and in the summer I try to get into the woods for some camping or the like as much as possible (although when I was in school I relied heavily on Wreck beach to keep me grounded). I grew up in the woods and even after living in Vancouver for 8 years I sometimes stand in awe of the massive buildings around me. I'd be glad to help you explore Vancouver.

PHILOSOPHY

Humanity's greatest gift is our ability to tell stories. They can span generation gaps of millennia, they can unite strangers from across the globe or capture the individuality of a single experience. What's more, you don't need a bag to carry them and they're great for breaking the ice at parties! Let's make some stories together.
