I was born the year the Beatles first came to America and Jeopardy aired on television. Make of that what you will. As a boy magician, I specialized in escape artistry. I escaped from many things: ropes, plastic handcuffs and most of my responsibilities. Later obsessions included horror movies and amateur super heroics. At the age of eighteen, I moved to London, England to pursue a career as a semi-obscure rock drummer. My semi-obscurity was interrupted by a brief spell of fame. I have also been a boy magician, propmaker, insurance clerk, waiter and journalist. Sadly, I would say my days as a boy magician are over.

At present, I am Director of Photography at Maclean’s Magazine.
