I live in Hamilton, Ontario.

An engineer / MBA by education, my recent ventures have been a steady path of Creative Green Projects including co-writing a play, co-founding an Eco Film Festival, delving into the film realm, and ultimately running for the Green Party of Canada in the last Federal election.

The power of simple solutions is a new realization for me. Local food and local businesses sustain communities. The fundamentals of permaculture also resonate.

In order to step forward, the fossils that we still celebrate need to be fall aside, as they are.

The realization that every action and dollar spent is a choice for the future, empowers us all. Every line up at one of the franchises that have homogenized communities from coast to coast, signifies the demise of another distinct small business.
