Like any good scribbler, I was once employed in a host of strange occupations. Among the weirdest of these were: an editor with a small-press literary magazine (odder than it sounds); a trampolinist (not as odd as it sounds); and a dub-script writer for imported Japanese cartoons (odd).

Professional writerly credentials? Here’s my best shot: I have an MFA from the University of British Columbia and I’ve published short fiction in Canada, the U.S. and the U.K. It is what it is.

Currently, I live in Toronto with my far-more-talented wife (she built this website, for instance). I lecture in creative writing at the University of Toronto.
