I am an engineer, father, and dreamer.

I have an array of post secondary qualifications. I hold electrical engineering and professional ethics degrees from Lakehead Univeristy, a diploma in electronics engineering from SAIT, and a space studies certificate from the International Space University.

I’ve worked in many different environments including fabrication shops, on movies sets, inside an active mine, commissioning mega-projects, and at the boardroom table. I’ve been employed by startups, small firms, and mega corporations. I’ve also co-founded my own company and participated in many entrepreneurial accelerators.

I am a socialist that consumes a lot of cyberpunk and science fiction media. I’m doing my best to survive the digital industrial revolution, closely associating myself with the Luddite resistance of the first industrial revolution.

I am married and live with my wife, son, and two cats where the Elbow meets the Bow in Alberta Canada.
