He has been a computer programmer since graduating from Virginia Tech in 1972. He realized the potential of the Internet when Mosaic started getting widespread usage, and was responsible for the Vancouver Bicycle Club, Airspace, and the Western Canada Wilderness Committee getting head starts in having an Internet presence.

He created a web page for the now-defunct Progressive Democratic Alliance, which made that party one of the first political parties to have a web presence.

He lived in Oslo, Norway for 3 ¹⁄₂ years in the late 1980s. He became a Canadian citizen in 1994. He was the Green Party candidate for New Westminster in the 2001 and 2005 provincial elections.

He has traveled extensively in Northern Europe, Peru, Mexico, and Russia. He retired in 2012, and now lives in Guanajuato, Mexico. He is active in the San Miguel de Allende chapter of PEN International.
