I'm a writer, DGC director & picture editor with 15+ years experience in the film & TV industry. I was raised in Fort McMurray by two English teachers, started my career in biosciences (as a fisheries biologist), made my first dramatic film when 16mm stock was chic, before getting my first industry gig at BookTV. 

Since then, I've made a lot of documentaries and indie sci-fi; once drove a pink ambulance across the country on a poetry tour for a book I wrote. It's a wide-ranging career to date, but I'm currently focussed on writing books and scripts and directing film and TV.

I'm currently writing for Underknown's WHAT IF and CHASE DIES IN SPACE Youtube channels, and their 9 million subscribers. My most recent film as writer/director is HYPERNOVA and the upcoming VITTORIO. I wrote & produced the sci-fi / horror film TIMEBOX which played numerous genre fests and premiered on CBC’s Canadian Reflections. My script for Jim Morrison's BONECRUSHER, a period-boxing film about the indomitable Sam Langford, recently won the DGC Short Film Award (and funding!) and premiered at the Boston Film Fest. Also got a sweet notice on The National. I recently wrote all 12 episodes of CTV/CRAVE's EVOLVING VEGAN with Mena Massoud.

Directing-wise -- I directed and picture edited the dramatic sci-fi digital series HAPHEAD (IPF/Canal+), the award-winning sci-fi feature GHOSTS WITH SHIT JOBS, along with docs like the super-viral HOW INK IS MADE , THE MUSIC OF MADNESS and the just-released climate change doc CAPTURING CARBON.

I worked as a picture editor on the CSA-winning investigative news-documentary series 16x9 (GlobalTV) for several seasons, and directed multiple documentary series including: MADE IN TORONTO, Sportsnet’s CANADIAN CATHEDRALS, Maclean’s BEST RESTAURANT digital series, and BookTV’s 3-DAY NOVEL CONTEST.

I've also worked as a lumberjack, a professional fly fisherman and a director of photography. Like I said -- it's been a wide ranging career. I can't help it, love learning new things. But it always comes back to writing and creating new work.        

I'm a Director member of the Directors Guild of Canada, and I live and work in Toronto. To get a sense of the things I work on, check out the directing, editing and writing sections below.
