Over the last 20 years, I’ve had a lot of fun using my creative skills to design and develop eLearning and face-to-face courses and modules in post-secondary education. Early in my career, I discovered I’m motivated to combine my many digital technologies, research, communications, and project vision skills to create learning experiences. These skills led me to many enjoyable opportunities to assess, redesign, and evaluate the effectiveness of existing courses and modules and create new courses from scratch. As a sessional instructor at Seneca College (Toronto), the University of Victoria (BC), and Ontario Tech University (Oshawa), I had the pleasure of collaborating with many wonderful colleagues who helped me refine my design, facilitation, assessment, and research skills.

Throughout my academic career, I’ve always been drawn to people’s life stories, which perhaps influenced my choice of phenomenology (reflective lifeworld research) as the methodology for my dissertation. Now, I am expanding my horizons by combining my passion for writing, research, and life stories to delve into writing music biographies. Growing up, working, and studying while immersed in a plethora of hard rock bands, it felt natural to merge my research skills with my love for music, resulting in a scholarly approach to writing music biographies. In the fall of 2023, Spirit of Inquiry published my first book, The Rise of the Fox: 1950-1982, marking the debut installment in the Eric Carr Revealed series, spotlighting the acclaimed former drummer of the rock band KISS. The second installment, The Drums of Thunder: 1982-1987, is scheduled for release in late 2025..

I hold Bachelor of Education and Master of Education degrees from Brock University and a Doctor of Philosophy in Education from the University of Victoria. I live in British Columbia, Canada.
