What’s your “q” connection?

I ended up working here because when I was at Enbridge, I used to hire Richard to direct and write for me. And then they got busy, so I got outsourced to Xerox. I started freelancing in their basement suite, when they still worked at the house. And then Dorothy became part of q, so I left Xerox and came full time on a 6 month contract….I met Richard through Jeff Rockburn, one of our writers.

How would you describe life at q media solutions to someone interested in working here?

You get to work with two great people who truly care about you and want to give you the best they possibly can, provide the best opportunity for you they can. That’s who they are, they always put you ahead of the company.

If you had a whole day free, just for yourself, how would you spend it?

I would golf. Or hang out in my basement and play my guitar.

What did you like most from the 80s (ie the tunes, the TV, the clothes, ect)?

WKRP. Its a radio show. Its a sitcom, about a radio station, with Howard Hessman, Loni Anderson, it’s a great series. And I like the cheesy 80s music.

What is something quirky about yourself?

I have issues with germs. I wash a dish before I use it in the [q media] kitchen. I always give it a rinse before I use it.

When you were a kid, what did you want to be?

A pilot. I would just love to fly. Always loved it.

Did you ever pursue it?

I started to, I didn’t do very well in math.

You’ve just won an Academy Award.  What’s it for?

Editing.

And what would be the opening line of your acceptance speech?

I’d like to thank my wife. (laughs) Because when Richard and I were working together, we won a Duchess Choice award for corporate TV, and I thanked everybody but Kim. I forgot. And I guess for ass-kissing purposes, I would thank Dorothy and Richard next.

If you could live the life of character from a movie, who would it be? Why? 

Ricky Bobby. Because I love racing and his confidence.

Pick two people (dead, alive, famous, ect) that you would love to have dinner with.

Springsteen is someone I would like to meet. Because he’s so idolozed, but he’s so down to earth and normal. Buddy Holly, he was always being innovative and trying new ways to record and get different sounds.

What do you like most about working at q?

The variety. The chance to do something different. I like to get out in the field and sometimes hide in the office. I just like to do a little bit of everything.
