I was born on Prince Edward Island and lived there until I was two, when we moved to Moncton, New Brunswick. I am thus from the Maritime provinces (a Maritimer). I lived in Fredericton, Halifax, and Montreal before moving to Toronto in 1987. I live in, and write about, my neighbourhood of South Riverdale (“Leslieville”) in Toronto.
I have a B.A. in linguistics from University of Toronto (1989) and a diploma in engineering (a junior degree, and that is its exact name) from Dalhousie University (1985). I studied linguistics at McGill University for two years before transferring to UofT. I am not a professional engineer, and it looks like I never will be.
I’ve been writing since I was seven and have been published since 1989, with nearly 400 articles, over a thousand Web pages, and a published book.
I’ve been interested in accessibility since approximately 1978, when I was 13 years old. (See the article I try to make very easy to find about how I got started in captioning.) Thus I am not joking or exaggerating when I say I’ve been interested in accessibility for 25 years. I started early.
