I'm a recent graduate whose obsession with writing arose from the moment I realized I possess the fundamental need for a 'delete' key during spoken conversation.

I majored in both Psychology and Religion & Culture (religious studies) while earning my B.A. at Wilfrid Laurier University and with a firm whack on the snooze-alarm of Life, I chose to devote another year to completing my Graduate Certificate in Publishing at Ryerson University in Toronto. I've since found freelance writing an excellent way to both build a profile and develop my editorial/writing abilities (not to mention quell the voices that push me toward the keyboard every waking hour).

I have always been an avid researcher of all things history (though with a pronounced bias toward that of the military variety), an aspiring writer of fantasy-fiction for six years and a self-employed, somehow successful landscaper for one brief, backbreaking summer. I've been repeatedly employed as a temporary worker in the Canadian pharmaceuticals industry and when not at a desk, tend to be drawn toward the backwoods trails of Ontario's Algonquin Park. I also find myself in possession of several bodily components that no longer bend as they should - or that bend when they definitely should not - after four years of municipal-level rugby.

I'm currently found in Ontario, Canada, as I have been for all my life and intend to be for the rest yet to come.
