About me
A husband and dad
I’ve been married to my lovely wife Ginny since 1997. Together, we have two delightful girls—Mac (seven) and Lindsey (five). We live on the fringes of Toronto’s Beach neighbourhood.
Before the kids came along, we used to travel around Canada for fun. Ginny and I have travelled together by train from coast to coast. Given a choice, I’d rather be in Alberta right now.
As a family we’ve travelled to Hilton Head, South Carolina twice, and we enjoy spending time in Sauble Beach, Ontario. In 2009 we took the girls to Walt Disney World and some day we’ll take them to see the stunning mountains of western Canada.
As a family, we’re avid Toronto Blue Jays baseball fans and the girls are Blue Jays Kid’s Club members in good standing. We attend at least a half a dozen games a year at the Rogers Centre.
A runner
I like this quote about running: “Running is real and relatively simple—but it ain’t easy.”
I try to get out for a run at least three times a week, and most weeks I am successful at doing that. Usually I run somewhere between five and eight kilometres on weekdays, and longer on Sunday mornings.
I run with a group at the Running Room (Commerce Court location) and we generally run at least 10k. If I am training for a race then I’ll run whatever the training schedule calls for. In May of 2010 I ran my first marathon (42.2k). I plan to run more in the future. You might want to read my my running blog.
A writer
I work as a Communications Lead for a well known Internet services company where I do everything from blogging to writing, to multimedia production, website maintenance and whatever else they throw my way. I really like my job.
I happily hack around on computers and spend too much time on the Internet. I’m fairly adept at HTML and CSS. I know just enough about PHP to be dangerous. Chances are you’ve seen this website with a different style. If not, chances are you will soon.
I like watching all-news channels. I’ll watch the news all day if given the chance. I have a diploma in television broadcasting and a post-graduate diploma in journalism. I’ve worked on some big-budget Hollywood feature films and I used to be an audio editor for a Toronto all-news radio station.
