Originally I hail from Stratford, Ontario, home of the Stratford Shakespearean Festival, and the Ontario Pork Congress. The combination of these accounts for my theatrical leanings, and for my tendency to be a "ham." My educational background includes a three-year diploma in Watchmaking (yes, really) from George Brown College, and a one-year launch at Mechanical Engineering during my tender youth.
I've made my home in Waterloo, Ontario since 1981, when I started an undergraduate degree in Electrical Engineering at the University of Waterloo. Following graduation, I was offered a position with the University, which I took in order to earn back my tuition (along with something extra for pain and suffering). What was going to being "a couple of years" has turned into a quarter-century; I'm still here.
My interests include the Shad Valley Summer Program, Waterloo Unlimited, theatre (onstage and off), improvised comedy, stained glass, woodworking, home repairs, painting, and the visual arts in general. I play B flat clarinet (and B flat Bass clarinet), and am an enthusiastic -- if under-appreciated -- amateur singer. In my spare time I wonder why I have no spare time.
