I
was born in Calgary, Alberta. I worked as a photojournalist for various small town newspapers including the Vermilion Standard, Taber Times, Vauxhall Advance, and Strathmore Standard. My work also appeared in newspapers across Canada.
I transitioned into adult education as a learning experience designer writing scripts, design documents, and various learning materials for the past 13 years.
Although writing poetry, fiction, and essays since high school, To the Open Arms of the Sea is my first published book of poetry.
I live in Victoria, BC., with my wife and two children.
