Born in the mid seventies, I was raised in a time of

fleeting social freedoms; where political correctness

was not considered a sociologic prowess, and the youth

were seemingly care free. I struggle now with my

conservative nature: trying to leave my creativity

uninhibited, and cast off the shackles of judgement.

My eyes were first opened to my creativity suppression

when I first set foot in the New Brunswick College

of Craft and Design on August 24th 1998

(which was, ironically, my birthday). I was introduced to a

whole new set of rules, most of which I resisted

for the better part of my first year. While attending

the college I worked as a freelance photographer at the

Daily Gleaner where I was

exposed to the commercial side of photography.

I graduated from NBCCD in 2001, and have since

conquered one of life’s greatest battles; this battle has left me

with new perspectives on life which I hope to include in my

future photographic endeavors.
