About Me
I spent more than twenty years building complicated solutions to complicated problems. As a software entrepreneur focused on wireless technology, I helped clients navigate the challenges of an increasingly mobile, digital world. Yet the deeper I immersed myself in the tech sector, the further I diverged from the life I wanted to live. So in 2010, I quit my job, bought a camper van, and embarked on a year-long road trip with my wife and two children—a journey that turned me from a techie to a writer and challenged me to reconsider what it means to live authentically.
In the years that followed our epic road trip, I self-published two novels; dabbled in various work-like activities—like managing a car-sharing co-operative, launching a shared office space, and designing books for fellow authors; and returned to university to study English and creative writing. Now entering the fifth and final year of my mid-life academic adventure, I am working to complete both a Master of Fine Arts degree (in Creative Nonfiction) and my first nonfiction book: a collection of personal essays in search of a simpler, more authentic life.
