Born and raised in Oakville, Ontario to a Urologist father and an English Teachin' Mother.  I'm not sure what I'm doing but it usually gravitates towards comedy even though I set out to be taken seriously. My short film Captain Coulier (space explorer) won the LA Comedy Film Festival (2009), premiered at Sundance. Wes Anderson's Bottle Rocket & Royal Tanenbaums, are the reason I became a filmmaker. The Simpsons & Seinfeld are my favourite TV shows and the foundation for my moral compass and ironic sensibility.  Ricky Gervais' The Office was my hit of comedy LSD that expanded my mind and changed me forever. If you were to associate "tags" to my style I'd be okay with the following: melancholy surreal heightened satire dark light introspective and wacky.
