My appreciation for good writing started early. In grade six, over the Christmas holidays, I read The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien—an adventure told in a conversational narrative and childlike tone, using advanced language and perfect grammar at the same time. I didn’t know it then, but Tolkien may have been my first real writing teacher.

After university (I earned a Political Science degree from the University of Guelph), I began my career as an editor at two legal publishing companies: Thomson Reuters and Wolters Kluwer. From there, I moved to Bell, starting as an Assistant Editor in the B2B space and, over six years, working my way up to Manager, Editorial & E-communications.

Since then, I’ve worked with web design agencies and in-house teams as a content designer and UX writer, helping organizations clarify complex ideas and create more human digital experiences. That work has included projects for Mazda, Parks Canada, the Kawartha-Haliburton Children’s Aid Society, and—more recently—TML Supply Company, Tulip, AT&T, BMO, and Sun Life.

Outside of work, I’m a husband and a dad, a reluctant dog person, a hobbyist photographer, and a pizza snob. I like to read, but I don’t do near enough of it outside of work. I love western movies, stand-up comedy, and retro video games. My favourite foods are jambalaya, menudo, and spaghetti and meatballs. How’s that for an ABOUT page?
