When not writing, I earn my bowl of rice and beans as a software engineer (please click here to visit my programming site and to learn more about my alter ego).  I have Bachelor’s (McMaster University) and Master’s (Dalhousie University) degrees in Philosophy and I like to read and write works that ponder the bigger questions.  At The Humber School For Writing I studied with novelist Michael Helm.

My debut novel, The Last Stoic, a story about appetite and fear, both modern and ancient, is due to be released early in 2011 by Hidden Brook Publishing (http://www.hiddenbrookpress.com/). 

I live in Kingston, Ontario, Canada, with my wife Nancy and son Griffin, next to the best fresh-water sailing in the world.
