I was just thinking about you. I’ve been simultaneously occupied by what I thought were separate pursuits until I realized they’re all the same thing – the relentless pursuit of storytelling. If you can see, hear or read it I’ve probably tried it once or thousands of times.

As a result I’ve worked in film, commercials, broadcast and live visuals; fronted rock, reggae, d’nb and honk-tonk bands. Anything with a two-step. I’m cofounder of Exclaim magazine and a former graphics director of CTV News. I’ve run more than a few hot crews of artists, musicians and coders. I find time to create sequential art and stop motion. You’ll find cartoons and music videos I’ve directed and many albums worth of songs including two operas. AI, AR, VHS, I’ve done all the buzz codes.  Two Canadian Screen Award nominations and a bottle of decent champers from Netflix. I like a mix of working in teams as well as creating alone for fascinating projects. Sincerity and kindness are my most valuable inheritances.

My party tricks are creativity and design. If you made it this far I salute you. There’s plenty amiss, and yet it exists. This suits me fine.
