I'm a 30-year old human man born and raised in Vancouver, BC but currently residing in Toronto, ON.
I'm a copywriter and creative strategist with extensive experience working for non-profit, corporate, and government clients. Currently, I handle marketing for the Canadian indie label Arts & Crafts.
I'm a musician with two EPs on Warp Records under the unfortunate moniker Babe Rainbow. I was formerly in the touring band for How To Dress Well. Now I'm making music under my own name.
For about seven years I was the Festival Director of a week-long cultural festival and a day-long outdoor concert.
I was the Executive Producer of a Leo Award-nominated comedy web-series & compilation album.
I co-founded shitharperdid.com
I helped produce, write, and act in a short comedy series for CTV's 2011 election coverage.
For a time, I wrote about Canadian politics for Vice Magazine.
I hold a Bachelor of Communication from Simon Fraser University.
