I started playing AD&D in late 1981 at U of Waterloo while doing my MSc in Physics. Generated my own campaign world during 1982‑1983 as mental relief while writing my MSc thesis. Have run at least five or six parties through various adventures in that world, including groups in Waterloo, Ottawa, and Toronto. I invent my own board games, and have prototyped and playtested at least 100 such (many through my gaming group in Toronto, but most with non-gaming types since they are not ‘gamer only’ games). I am an avid audio/video creator, mixing music and video to create expressive themed work. I also write fiction, have ‘penned’ over a hundred and fifty science-fantasy and fantasy short stories, 12 novels (9 published), as well as four audio novels/plays (with live characters and sound effects). Until the end of 2019 I worked as a Professor in Electronics and Computer Engineering Technology at an un-named college in the Toronto area. Now, though, I can devote myself more fully to my various passions!
