Introduction Just hit the half-century mark this year! 29 years into a very satisfying and rewarding career, working with a small but incredibly talented and passionate team. Married to Janet for 26 great years, two awesome kids - one at Niagara College and one at McMaster. Didn't think much of my first University experience 33 (gulp!) years ago, but glad to be back pursuing my Business Communications degree at Brock. Suddenly, everything seems so much more relevant and practical than it did in 1979! Four years away from being *able* to retire...not sure when I'll actually go, just want to have the option!
Interests family, music, movies, hiking, podcasts, encouraging my kids, football (especially the 2011 Vanier Cup Champion McMaster Marauders!), eating healthy (a struggle!)
Favorite Movies The Big Lebowski, The Shawshank Redemption, Groundhog Day, Harold & Maude, Moneyball, Shame, Incendies; "film-quality" TV shows such as Mad Men, Boardwalk Empire, Shameless, Deadwood, Justified.
Favorite Music Genesis (only the early stuff!), Delerium, Ultravox, Arcade Fire, Bob Marley, The Clash, Pink Floyd, King Crimson, Tea Party, Mumford & Sons, Chicago, Lighthouse, Max Webster, Peter Gabriel, The Police, Renaissance, Rush, Radiohead, Triumvirat
Favorite Books Anything by Tom Clancy, W.E.B. Griffin, David Foster Wallace; prefer non-fiction and enjoy magazines!
