Raised in outport Newfoundland in a town of 65 people, I pursued a post secondary diploma in Information Technology right out of High School. Graduating into the recession of the early 80s, with a student loan at an interest rate of 13.75%, with a diploma, but no clue how to apply for a job or contacts to rely on, led me back home, and eventually into the hotel business from the accounting side.

Eventually tiring of a job I didn’t like, I made the decision to go back to school, and moved to Nova Scotia and back into the career I really do love, a Web/Backend/Database developer.


A developers desk job wasn't good for my waistline or fitness, so in 2019, I decided to try and do something about that. I'd always loved cycling as a kid, but city riding and hills at 250lbs were scary. Starting with an eBike and since graduating to a "real" bike, I've rediscovered my passion.
