bio

Born in Toronto, I lived there long enough to be cursed with a rooting interest
in Toronto teams.

I read, write, listen, and watch all the things. Not always in that order.

I've trekked the Himalayas with Sir Edmund Hillary, was a cheerleader in college,
and sung for Pope John Paul II in the Vatican.

 
Currently living in Northern California.
