| Introduction | I was born in Melbourne Australia before settling in Southern Ontario when I was 8 months old. I grew up in Cambridge Ontario. Performed music after completing High School and travelled around Canada. In 1998 I moved to Ottawa (to follow the girl who would become my wife). While there I booked musical acts, wrote for music publications and went to Carleton University for English and History. I was married in 2000 and we had our daughter in 2004. Our son was born in 2007. I taught in Ottawa for 4 years and then moved to Kitchener. This is my second year at Elmira District Secondary School. |
