I graduated from the Bachelor of Commerce program from Ryerson Polytechnic University in Toronto. I learned all about business but I majored in computers and minored in communications. I wanted to prove that not all computer people were geeks and we can communicate too.

I lucked out and found a great job right out of school (thanks Matt!). I gained experience designing internal web applications and providing first level support for SHL Systemhouse. The company merged and changed several times since I was there and eventually our team was cut when Worldcom was sold to EDS.

I decided to freelance for a while before settling into another fulltime web developer job. CANNEX Financial Exchanges was a small company and I designed and branded the website, internal applications and all the print work. It was a lot of fun and we were like a small family. And then in 2005, I decided I had enough of the blistering Canadian winters and packed up my dog and my car and drove to Los Angeles.

I had fun living in Hollywood for the first couple months but then settled in the San Fernando Valley working for Answer Financial. I designed and built all the web applications and electronic newsletters. I worked closely with the back-end developers and QA testers. I had my share of fun in California but I decided I wanted to live in a more affordable economy.

I moved to Dallas in 2007. I found a couple jobs I liked but I couldn't resist the creative and fun atmosphere of working with The CW33 KDAF-TV. My spacious office was equipped with a television, a MAC and a PC. The sky was the limit. In my four years at the TV station, I rebranded the website several times and took the company ahead of the competition in sales revenue, pagesviews, promotions, news stories, social media, database creations and many other business strategies.

In June 2011, I decided to take my career in a different direction. I chose to leave the TV station and find a renewed happiness in my career. What's next?
