I’ve been a creative being my whole life. Always drawing and building things as a child - I excelled in art classes. In the academic side of school - not so much. I’ve often joked “When they were handing out ‘brains for math’, I heard ‘drains for bath’. So I got in the art line up.” Since that time, I worked towards, and achieved, a successful career as a graphic designer.

Born in Lethbridge Alberta, I was hauled kicking and screaming to Ontario where I grew up and went to school in Ottawa, studying Fine Art and Commercial Art.

The mid-1980s brought me back west to Vancouver and then Victoria where I continued my graphic design work. I now live in Victoria with my wife and dogs.
