About The Guy Who Runs This Place

I know a fair bit about a lot of top­ics.  I once told my young nephew, “I know a lot, but I don’t know every­thing.”  In his great wis­dom, he emphat­i­cally replied back, “NO!  You know every­thing!”  So, you should know that a 5-year-old says I know everything.

That is why you need to pay atten­tion to what I tell you, soak in what I show you, and tell all your friends about the great stuff I’ve put here.

I have a for­mal back­ground in life sci­ences, IT man­age­ment, project man­age­ment, emer­gency man­age­ment.  I’ve for­mally stud­ied pho­tog­ra­phy and have worked pro­fes­sion­ally as a pho­tog­ra­pher.  I’ve taken entre­pre­neur­ial stabs at busi­nesses of my own — none of which were suc­cess­ful — but I’ll be back at it again.  I cur­rently work in the pub­lic sec­tor, paid by the benev­o­lent tax­pay­ers of Ontario.  I’ve worked in the pri­vate sec­tor in sales, tech sup­port, and in marketing.

I have more books than a small library.  Aside from a half-dozen clas­sic fic­tional works, every­thing I’ve got is non-fiction.  Well, at least the topic mat­ter is non-fiction.  Some­times I have to won­der if the advice peo­ple put into busi­ness books is actu­ally bet­ter cat­e­go­rized as fiction.

I’ve been a pretty good ama­teur ball­room dancer.  I’m still a pretty good ama­teur cook.  I’ve been a NAUI-certified SCUBA diver, and I’ll be freefall cer­ti­fied for jump­ing out of per­fectly good air­planes soon.

I’m a Leo, and appar­ently that means I believe that I’m always right.

Let’s look at the math­e­mat­ics of this:  Me = (Knows Every­thing + Cen­ter of My Known Universe)^(Always Right)  If you know your math­e­mat­ics, you know that’s pretty formidable!

I’ll close by say­ing this, though:  You are clearly a smart, insight­ful, and well-admired per­son in your own right.  How do I know this?  Because you’re read­ing this, you’re lis­ten­ing to what I have to say, and you know good stuff when you see it!
