ABOUT ME
Over the years, I’ve been many things: programmer, entrepreneur, writer, spiritual seeker, and they all came with labels and identity.

Nowadays I just consider myself an expression of life, quietly roaring, whatever I may be doing.

I grew up in Montreal, enjoying the seasons, and that air could taste differently when warm or cold. I now live in Santa Barbara, which has little difference between winter and summer, but I appreciate its gift of sunshine.

My most precious and life-changing time was when I traveled to India, not speaking any of the languages, and went to the foothills of the Himalayas to meditate for five glorious months in a quiet forest.

When I returned and grew older, and let go of much of the baggage of my life, a passion arose: to write with the same joy and abandon I did as a child.

I want to write stories which capture the human spirit, the true spirit, the bright light within that seeks, soars, and loves.
THE OARSMAN
A dying man hires an oarsman to take him up a mystical river to find paradise. Along the way, the man encounters all the roles he has played in his long and winding life.

He meets himself as an artist aching to heal the world, as a merchant obsessed with building the biggest castle, and even as a shy dreamer imagining himself a brave knight while too afraid to let the world paint itself.

As the man goes further back in time, aided by the magic of the river, he encounters agents sent to derail his quest, and also begins to suspect that the oarsman is more than he seems.
