Biography:
For those of you interested, here's a brief synopsis of my schooling and work
plus some pictures to enjoy. It may seem pretty sparse right now but I'll fill
in the gaps and details as time and motivation permit.
Here's some pictures I've dug up over the years...

Kimberly Public School was my first school where I attended kindergarten to grade two. After grade two, my family moved to MacLean Avenue, just half a block from the beach. My parents have just recently moved from there. While living on MacLean, I attended Williamson Road from grade three until six, then seven and eight at Glen Ames Senior School which is actually attached to Williamson Road. For high school, I spent four years at Malvern Collegiate Institute before moving to Monarch Park Secondary School for a year where I graduated grade 12. I returned to Malvern to complete grade 13 and graduated in 1981.
From Malvern, I went directly to the Ontario College of Art where I spent two years, first in foundation studies then in the Experimental Arts department.
After my two years at OCA, I moved to Ryerson Polytechnic Institute for Chemical Engineering which turned out to be a bust. Time to work.
After a series of part time jobs which kept me fed but not much more, I landed at Black's Cameras where I worked my way through Warden Woods and Eglinton Square before becoming the assistant manager in the Commerce Court store in downtown Toronto.
From Blacks, I went on a short term but better paying position at Kodak where I helped design their labels to comply with WHMIS legislation. This helped pave the way for me to attend Humber College of Applied Arts and Technology where I graduated the Electronics Engineering program with honours.
After Humber, I started working on the assembly line at Dell Computer Corporation where I learned a lot about computers, leading me to a great job at Quinton Electrophysiology where I held positions in research and development, senior management and support. When Quinton closed it's doors, I moved on to A.G. Simpson t as a network administrator where I am currently sitting.
