I attended high school in Chichester in the south of England. Studying engineering, I progressed through university at Imperial College, London before landing jobs with mainly large building companies in England. I later moved to Southern Ontario with my wife and family to work in the steel industry on a pilot project to build industrialized housing. We stayed in Ontario where I later worked on public housing and then moved to employment at a bank.
Throughout my working career I dabbled in art and took classes at a local community college. An early retirement presented the opportunity for me to attend Ontario College of Art and Design and graduate with an honours diploma in Sculpture and Installation. With two fellow sculptors, I founded a stone sculpting studio. I lasted ten years before setting this physically challenging activity aside. I turned to writing shortly afterwards.
As a lifelong student of human nature, I have always been impressed by the diversity and generosity of spirit of mankind. Such qualities are a source of inspiration.
