Vocations: Making meaningful connections and telling great stories; Associate Director, Advancement in the Faculty of Medicine & Dentistry at the University of Alberta. Also, the main guy behind Brown Paper Bag, a creative conglomerate.

Avocations: All things mountain. Words & images. Running. Other passions include: music, hockey, art, film, typography, space, just to name a few.

Current fascinations: astronomy & astrophotography, the Edmonton Oilers, storytelling, typography...
