Personal Note

I live in Montreal (with my wife and daughter), which makes me the token Canadian, I guess. That doesn't really mean much as far as work is concerned, except that I pronounce "about" strangely, and say "sorry" a lot.

I was drawn to OmniTI by what we refer to internally as the Brain Trust — a lot of really smart and well-known people. I'm constantly amazed by the talent in our office that I get to share with our clients each day.

When I'm not working, I'm probably doing something beer-related: sampling, seeking, sharing or brewing (all-grain). If you want me to fix your computer, my arm can be twisted with a glass of the sourest gueuze you can find.
