Bio Dude, this bio sucks. I'm more interesting than this and not as annoying, honest! I have a younger sister, a yellow labrador, a Siamese fighting fish and a budgie. I used to have a leopard gecko. I'm currently in Grade 9 in an Enriched program. My interests range from reading to geography. In Spring 2003, I placed 1st in Ontario and 13th in Canada in the Great Canadian Geography Challenge Competition. In June 2003, I participated in the Best Books For Young Adults session at ALA Toronto. Since then, I have joined the Firebird Books Teen Advisory Board and Adbooks and Yalsa-bk young adult literature discussion groups. I have had a short story and a book review published in Stone Soup magazine and articles and reviews published in Brand New Planet. In 1998, I won the inaugural Month Ahead writing contest for Grades 3 and 4. When I graduated from elementary school I won the History, Geography, Gauss Math and Academic Achievement awards. When I took Irish Dance lessons, I won a Peter Stanton School of Dance award. I have acted as Tony in West Side Story, Gilbert in Anne of Green Gables, Professor Waldo in I Believe In Christmas, Judah in Joseph and will appear as Roger in Grease in 2004.
