Who am I?I'm from North Vancouver, BC, Canada. I graduated from Simon Fraser University (SFU) with a degree in Molecular Biology and Biochemistry, a Minor in Cultural Anthropology, and a Certificate in Liberal Arts.
In 2000, I started at Canada's Michael Smith Genome Sciences Centre as a Cancer Genomics Researcher. I’m first author on 2 publications in scientific journals and co-author on 54 other refereed articles including 5 on brain cancer. I love to hike, ride, play ice hockey and practice taekwondo, mindful meditation and yoga. I am an acrylic painter of portraits, landscape and surreal scenes. And a father to an amazing beautiful girl who brings more joy and energy to my life than I could ever have imagined. In 2016, I graduated from SFU's 2016 Writer's Studio with a Certificate in Creative Writing. I am also a long-term survivor of a devastating form of brain cancer. I volunteer in a number of capacities in health care and the brain cancer community. I am writing my memoir of my incredible experience. |
