About

I was born in Toronto, Ontario and lived most of my life in a suburb outside Toronto. In 2011 I graduated from the University of Toronto Mississauga with an Honours Bachelor of Arts in English and Professional Writing. In 2014, I completed by Master’s in English from McMaster University. My dream was always to be a writer, but life didn’t work out that way. I have published a collection of short stories and had one short story published in an online magazine. It’s been a while since I’ve written anything new, but I’m working on it.

Currently, I live in Hamilton, Ontario with my wife and our three cats β€” Avery, Gertrude Stein, and Madeline.

This blog is a space for me to talk about some of my favourite books and share what’s going on in my life. Also, I used to be completely and totally addicted to coffee, hence the blog name vitamincoffee. I’ve since switched over to tea.
