The early years
Like most kids born in the late 70s, I was raised on Saturday morning cartoons, the best movies of all time and lived through the bleakness of grunge.
After finishing high school in suburban Toronto, I headed first to the University of Ottawa to study modern languages, and finally to the University of Waterloo, where I fell in love with professional writing.
Dave the writer
After a series of co-op placements, I finally found my niche in corporate communications roles in the financial services industry, media & new technology and the entertainment industry.
My current passion in communications lies in the use of social media to open two-way channels of conversation between corporate entities and their customers/clients.
At home and abroad
My wife Danielle and I were married in the fall of 2007 near our cottage in the Ottawa Valley. We like to spend as much time there as possible, which is usually about as long as we can put up with the lack of running water.
If we’re not at the cottage during our time off, we’re either visiting family in friends in Ottawa or Montreal, or traveling the world. Recent trips include a visit to the southeastern corner of Germany and a whirlwind tour of eastern Spain.
We recently purchased our first home, which I spend much of my free time renovating, and we’re expecting our first child in July of 2011.
