I'm not on Facebook
(Everything you need to know about me is here.)
I was born and raised in Flin Flon, Manitoba. I earned a couple of Bachelor's degrees from University of Manitoba and my Master's from Carleton University.
I was a social worker specializing in child and adolescent mental health for ten years before becoming a privacy analyst with the Canadian federal government. Virtually, I also work as an Administrator on GCPEDIA, the Government of Canada's wiki.
That said, everything posted on this blog represents my own personal opinion, and is not endorsed by the Government of Canada nor indicative of any official government policy perspective. Blame me, and only me.

- I've been on the Internet since it was black and white.
- I've been a sysop since 1990 starting with several Bulletin Board Systems (remember those?). I distinctly recall upgrading from a 1200 to a 2400 bps modem and thinking, "Wow, this is fast!"
- I'm a former OS/2 fan and a devout Linux convert, though I don't push it onto anyone. (If you want to learn about it, ask me.)
- I've held some other interesting jobs in my life:
- As a radio announcer/disc jockey at CFAR for over 2 years;
- A gold refiner who poured gold bars for a mining corporation in the rural north; and
- As a professional bass player (over my "career", my musical genres spanned from reggae to heavy metal).
