I was born in Montreal on September 16^th, 1961. I love my city and hope I never have to leave. I’ve been working in the printing industry since I was 23. I have a daughter, 24, and a son, 22. Both have turned out to be decent human beings, as far as I know, and I’m proud of them. I like sports of all kinds, and have played quite a few such as hockey, baseball, lacrosse, soccer, basketball, curling (don’t laugh, J.D. played too), and a few others. I never got good at any of them, but loved it nonetheless. I’ve played Strat-o-matic baseball since I was 11. The ad on the back of a comic book caught my attention, and here I am 36 years later. I’m dabbling with writing. It’s something that I should devote more time to. I look forward to getting to know you all better as we go along. Maybe we’ll all meet in Cooperstown someday.
