(he/they)
I’m American-Irish and live with my wife and cats in southwest Nova Scotia. I’ve also lived in Idaho, Alberta, and throughout Ireland.
I’ve performed in a number of plays recently, including Proof, The Lion in Winter, Murder on the Orient Express, and Scrooge. I costumed The Lion in Winter and Proof. I’m acting in and assisting with design for Blithe Spirit in October 2025. I have also assisted with costuming, lighting design, and set design for a number of shows.
I was the Chair of the Southwest Nova Pride Association, a non-profit advocating for and supporting 2SLGBTQIA+ people in the Tri-County area of Nova Scotia. I also engage in activism focusing on food justice, food security, and 2SLGBTQIA+ history and health.
I was a professional chef for more than a decade, cooking in restaurants in Canada, Ireland and the US. I have published works on food culture and history, pop culture, science, and poetry, and served for several years on the editorial board of TN2 Magazine. I’ve also served shorter stints as the editor of other indie magazines.
I earned my B.A. in Mathematics at Trinity College Dublin with an emphasis on pure maths and statistics. My interests include the history of mathematics, combinatorics, and knot theory. I won an award for my paper on subglacial Antarctic volcanoes. My undergraduate thesis was on Archimedes and the conceptual origins of integral calculus.
