Location Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
Introduction I have a doctorate in steampunk literature (really!). I am a father and a husband. I live in Canada. I teach English full-time at Grant MacEwan University. I research steampunk. I blog about SFF books and films. I am a Dungeon Master and on occasion, I sit on the other side of the screen. I used to be an indie musician. I was "Most Promising Art Student" in high school, and sometimes, I still catch time to engage the pen, pencil, and Photoshop. I wish I'd gone to film school instead of seminary, but I'm making up for lost time now, engaging the world of creativity instead of theology.
