It has always been a part of who he is\u2014it is in his blood. In his teens, he told story through music when he played in a rock band. Later he told story through award winning poetry and used story as a way of communicating corporate history and vision as a chief business strategist in Canada. After a distinguished thirty-five-year career serving in a number of government portfolios in professional, management and executive roles, he refocused his talents on story-telling, evolving into an international award-winning screenwriter, playwright, producer and author. He has won several Writer of the Year awards and gives back to the story-telling community by sponsoring Young Storyteller and First Time Writer awards.
