Update: I have finally had my first gambling game licensed and is being developed for the slot world.

Still working on my boardgame "Amazing Bingo" as seen at thebingogame.com

And of course still shopping my business plan...

Wow, I have certainly worn a number of hats since High School.

Right after high School I worked for the federal gov't for almost 10 years (nothing Glamorous... just the UIC Computer Centre)

Always with the the dream of entertainment I left the Government and became a Nightclub DJ, this led to a career in Board game and Game show design.

I have worked with game show development companies in the U.S. and the U.K. Have worked with major lottery companies including our own BCLC.

I have always been and always will be involved with MAGIC (love it, cannot get enough of it and those of you who remember I did a show at our 10 year reunion and for those organizing this event if you want another let me know and I will be happy to do one again!!)

Currently my career involves Magic and Bingo yes you heard it right Bingo, but not the Bingo grandma plays... I am a leading designer in Bingo related entertainment, of which you should be hearing about soon...

I am also currently working for a company called Classroom Expeditions which brings edutainment programs to elementary schools. I present one for grade 5's called "A Government initiative" which teaches them how Canada started and how things work in the House of Commons. The second one I present is called "A Global Perspective" for grade 6's. It is a game Show that teaches about different countries around the world and what factors make them richer or poorer as well as how those of us in richer countries can help those who are not.

Yes I do have stories but none I want to commit to the internet right now....
