CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Originally from Newfoundland, Canada, I just finished two years of teaching in Shanghai and am driving across the country to live in Saskatoon where I will complete a Master's in Creative Writing!

PHILOSOPHY

I judge our friendship based on what I can tell your kids we did together when I call your house in 20 years.
