I'm a writer, educator and university administrator (sounds exciting, I know). I'm also the father of two, fun and chaotic, children (3-year-old and a 9-month-old). I got into fountain pens in 2020, when we were locked down. I use my fountain pens to write and draw. I journal everyday and try to draw everyday too (that's less successful). I play ukulele with my family (our sons love banging on drums and their plastic piano) and we love going camping, travelling in the summer — though this past summer it was a bit tough to do, with a newborn and so many wildfires. Pre-pandemic I loved going to coffee shops to write. Now, I have to do it at home early morning, or late at night, when the kids are asleep.
