I live in New Brunswick, Canada. I'm a husband and father of two. I work in an information services department. I've traveled a bit with my job to places like England, Australia, France, and different parts of Canada and the US.

I'm Generation X, except for the fact that I've worked for the same company for almost 16 years.

I enjoy writing, games, music, and other assorted things.

I've started a novel in addition to the articles that I write here and in other forums. I also blog (see the Broadcasting Brain link).
