An example of how his experience in creating customization options for gamers, great team management skills, and project planning paid off.

His dedication to creating games based on Canadian content comes from having been posted either in his career or while growing up in a military family, to almost all of Canada’s provinces. He’s been walked to school by armed Military Police protecting the kids from bears in Northern Ontario, was a frequent diver off the west coast, became a part of Rider Nation as a kid in Saskatchewan, watched the Snowbirds practice over his house and has twice called Halifax home.
