This page houses my writing portfolio. It is an archive of my work as a freelance writer and journalist between 2002 and 2010.
At the peak of my writing career, my work was featured in some of southern Ontario's largest alternative weeklies and reached an estimated 1.7 million readers a month through Inside Entertainment. I had also occasionally guest lectured at Mohawk College on the writing process.
Over the years, I have interviewed leading academics, award-winning artists, and Canada's top politicians. Some highlights include one-on-one conversations with Federal Green Party leader Elizabeth May, author and technology activist Cory Doctorow, and Grammy Award-winning musician PJ Harvey.
I used to write a blog called Toronto Vegetarian which attempted to make vegetarianism accessible both to vegetarians and those sympathetic to a plant-based lifestyle. For some reason, this conferred a modicum of legitimacy, and media types/academics looking for juicy quotes occasionally sought me out. My quotes aren't all that juicy, but it was fun, nonetheless. For me, more than them, probably.
The rest of my laundry list goes like this: I'm a religious studies student; amatuer web developer; the founder of a local community group; a growth-oriented astrologer, and a spirituality blogger. However, all told, my biggest claim to fame is having one of my articles cited on Wikipedia. Rock on.
My work has been published in the following publications:
