Bio

Autobio: why would I trust someone else to tell it the way it is?

I arrived in Fredericton in the summer of oh-six.
The journey here was long -- a circuitous route.
It started in Halifax in 1996.
When I left Halifax I was one person.
When I arrived in Fredericton I was another.
Sometime in between I changed -- in Vancouver.
That's where I was for the middle ten years.
Those were good years.
In Vancouver I fell in love with a woman I met in Fredericton -- it's a long story, but worth hearing.
She's my wife now.
Meaghan.
I did other things while in Vancouver.
Things that changed me.
I picked up a camera and explored the world through its view-finder.
I studied journalism.
These two crafts are now part of me.
They're how I think.
How I see the world.
I have no pets.
