Graphic design (Ontario College of Art & Design, 2002) and sign painting (George Brown College, 1993) makes up his formal art education. He’s been a calligrapher, sign painter, palliative care worker, literacy worker, cook (both cuisine classique and ’70s crunchy granola veg), bureaucrat, row hoer, and gardener, and has bits of paper saying he can competently design print materials along with others suggesting he can safely compare religions. He has never been a lead in a Gilbert and Sullivan extravaganza. He is neither “As Seen On TV” nor “Doctor Approved.” He plans in the near future to be that funny old man with too many budgies.
