Director, Local Products at CanWest MediaWorks
Ontario, Canada
I specialize in leading creative and technical teams and being the interface (and the glue) between the client and those building the applications.
Team leader, facilitator, coach, brainstormer, architect, programmer, designer, GUI, brand identity, hiring/firing/layoffs/annual reviews, willing to travel, willing to work late, willing to do what it takes. Looking for an insanely cool creative challenge.

I am a published writer, I write slipstream fiction. I also have a background in editing. Try me at writerforehire at gmail.com for reviews of books, movies, software, trends in technology, webisodes and more. For exercise I row, do a little pilates, and when I'm not doing any of that I'm eating popcorn and watching movies.
