1971 - Born; Sudbury, Ontario. Soon thereafter, was whisked away to Montreal, Quebec.

1976 - Parti Quebecois takes power in Quebec, promising to take the province out of Canada. My family joins the exodus of English-speakers up Highway 401. We settle in Brampton, a character-deficient suburb of Toronto.

1976-1990 - Watch a lot of cartoons, draw, play with Lego. Collect Mad Magazine, Stephen King novels, Fighting Fantasy books, comic books. Get introduced to the Macintosh computer. Don't get out much.

1990-1994 - Attend Queen's University in Kingston Ontario. I make some paintings, and learn how to live on very little money, as well as how to crank out an essay in three hours.

1995 - Begin a career in Computer Animation. Get my first real apartment. IKEA rejoices.

1997-2002 - Meet a lovely and charming woman named Karen at a housewarming party. We fall in love, and wind up shacking up together...back in Brampton! IKEA rejoices again! We get engaged, but don't bother to set a date. We also agree to start an open relationship, with both of us free to take external lovers.

2004-2007 - Mostly spent in Southern California, working as a lighting supervisor on the animated film 'Barnyard', and the spin-off 'Back at the Barnyard' TV Series. Meet a bunch of cool folks, thanks to OK Cupid!

2008 - Return to Toronto, to work for Starz Animation.

Sitting in the dark, working with computer-generated lights.

I am constantly striving to learn new things, so I like to watch documentaries, and read non-fiction - mostly about history, cultural studies...and conspiracies. Do you like my tinfoil hat?

I spend a little too much time logged into Facebook, mostly playing games of Scramble, Farkle and such.

I also enjoy movies, discovering cool new music, rocking out with Rock Band, and board gaming with friends. I don't care for most current TV shows, but sometimes tune into Robot Chicken, NOW, Dexter, How It's Made, and Iron Chef.

Burning mix CDs, making computer-generated characters look fabulous, finding stuff on the internet, alphabetizing my DVDs, cunnilingus, writing long-winded diatribes about American foreign policy, balancing spinning plates on sticks. Oh, and occasionally lying about things that I'm good at.

It's the third eye, isn't it? Don't you know it's not polite to stare?

Air, bread & water, orgasms, the freedom to speak my mind, sleep, music

False-flag terror attacks, Peak Oil, my debt load....and sex (hey, we need *some* joy amidst all the bad news).

having dinner with my fiance, and watching a film...or maybe getting together with friends. Or maybe working late.

I'm not a particularly private person. If you have a question, I will answer it.

...I look interesting to you! I'm not really in the New Relationship mode at this point in time, but I do love to chat...and I also like to be surprised.
