After university, I worked a variety of menial jobs in order to sustain my art making habit. I lived and worked in a large, industrial, warehouse space in the inner city of Toronto and had a number of critically successful exhibitions in various alternative, commercial and public galleries.

Then I left everything behind and spent two years living on beaches and surfing the west coast of Mexico. Some years earlier, I started surfing while studying anthropology at UCSD in California.  Before that, I had studied visual art at York University in Toronto. 

After Mexico, I moved to Banff, a small town in the Canadian Rocky Mountains, where I took up extreme sports such as snowboarding, white water kayaking, and mountain biking. This lead to a highly successful career as an award winning photographer with over 60 international cover shots.  I was sent on assignments to some of the wildest and most remote mountain landscapes on the planet. Inevitably, I found myself in some harrowing situations but I also had the privilege of experiencing some truly amazing things.

All the while, I continued to make art, but was only exhibiting sporadically. I often felt that I was straddling two completely different worlds but I have come to realise that my life of adventure and my art are inseparable. Coming full circle, I am back to an urban lifestyle and working as a full time artist. Currently I am living in Berlin.
