Biography

Strumming the strings of life with the same zest I pluck my guitar, I’m a melody in motion. My journey began with guitar riffs in cozy garage bands, echoing through the halls of time with albums that still hum in forgotten corners. A true Jack-of-all-trades, I’ve danced through a kaleidoscope of roles – from tech wizardry to artistic alchemy, blending pixels and paintbrushes, bytes and beats.

As the co-founder of the Open World Toronto Film Festival (OWTFF), I’ve peered through camera lenses and dived into the deep end of filmmaking, finding stories in the unlikeliest of places. A globetrotter at heart, each stamp on my passport is a story, a song, or a silent film waiting to be told.

An insatiable learner, I’ve delved into the realms of AI, ever fascinated by its endless canvas of possibilities. My geeky soul finds solace in the enigmatic world of quantum physics and the philosophical questions that keep the universe up at night.

So here I am, a symphony of skills, a harmony of hobbies, a crescendo of creativity, all wrapped up in a package that’s just as quirky as it is qualified. A musician, a maker, a thinker, and a relentless explorer – that’s me, in a nutshell, or should I say, in a guitar case!
