I'm a writer, web developer and teacher. I've been coding since the '80s, making websites since the '90s and self-employed since the '00s.

I live in Barrie, Ontario, Canada, with my pregnant German wife and our 9-year-old son.

I enjoy reading, writing, travelling, playing zelda, minecraft, and chess.

My current interests include climate change, economics, decluttering, neurodivergence, burnout, mindfulness, personal finance, health, physics, linux, svelte, technology, and coding.

🥥 It's mourning in America.
Now we in the Untied Snakes know what it felt like when Nazis took over that country in the middle of Europe in the 1930s.

Oddball, computer nerd, aspiring ecosystem co-creator, I've lead a strange and unlikely life. I dropped out of high school and was homeless for several years. During that time I learned Reiki, and how to operate and program Linux computers. I decided to get a job as a programmer, so I created a project and presented it at CodeCon 2004. That led to a career as a computer programmer. I'm now semi-retired and I've turned my attention to my other passion: gardening and ecology.

I do NOT remember faces - this is something I've had all my life. I once didn't recognise my brother - I hadn't seen him for almost a week.
