Western Canadian Select human. Prairie boy (he/him) with an unfortunate dislike of toxic masculinity and rugged individualism. Grim as that may sound, humour keeps me alive. Tech and/or tech adjacent. Politics matter. Kindness is the coolest.

Edmonton / amiskwaciwâskahikan (Beaver Hills House) / Treaty 6

Inveterate liker of toots. Toots do not necessarily constitute strong endorsement.

The power of accurate observation is frequently called cynicism.
