DADBOD: 20 Songs and Videos Make the Ultimate Ode to Fatherhood
(FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE) After 25 years in the entertainment industry writing, directing, and producing video games, animations, interactive narratives, and audio projects (see: Electronic Arts, Broken Saints, The Cat’s Maw, and Buddha and the S**t — plus a win at the Sundance Film Festival), DADBOD lands as more than just a mid-life singer/songwriter flex. No, this is the legend of an incredible boy, the man who was transformed by his love, and the kind of bond that comes around once-in-a-million-lifetimes.
How Dungeons & Dragons Revealed My True Character
The roots of capital-c Creativity run deep. Mine grew wild and tangled 'til squeezing tight at the sound of rolling dice. Role-playing. Escapism. Fantasy.Call it what you want, son. The rest of us called it...D&D. Dungeons & Dragons pushed my burgeoning imagination in strange and exciting new directions. But, as this story (embedded above and transcribed below) will show, it also taught me something essential about myself...
PODCAST TIME: How an Epic Hike Across Spain Changed the Course of My Career
30 years ago, I first heard of the legendary 900km pilgrimage across Spain — the Camino De Santiago. 10 years ago, after reading The Pilgrimage and The Alchemist by acclaimed author Paulo CoeIho, I made the decision to walk it myself.

THE NEW PODCAST IS A THING!!!
I've been asked countless times do a podcast. Thing is, I kinda hate my voice. Which is surprising, considering my tendency to babble. But you kept on nudging me.

TIL DEATH DO US PART — A Love That Transcends Space, Time, and Species
Dear Quinn...Do you remember when we met? I sure do. I'd been having a rough go of things, and was hobbled by a nasty stretch of bad choices and negative thinking. A good friend asked if I had ever had a pet. I said yes, of course — CATS! — but that I didn't feel quite ready yet for a 'commitment'.
DAVID KAYE: A Partner in (Creative) Crime
I've known David Kaye for nearly 20 years. We met doing community theatre in North Vancouver, and just kinda clicked. I'd make a point of cornering him and firing off endless questions about his radio and voice work. Or maybe I'd wax poetic about videogames and conspiracy theories and some starlet way outta my league...
