Not your typical magician's origin story
Most magicians will tell you they were obsessed with magic as a kid. I was not.
Sure, I had the same wide-eyed moment every kid has when they see a card trick for the first time. But it never went further than that. I grew up, went to university, built a career in tech, got married, had kids — and magic was nowhere on the radar.
Then, sometime in my 40s, my wife Gina and I went to see Shawn Farquhar perform at Hidden Wonders, his speakeasy magic show in New Westminster. And something clicked. Hard. I went home that night and started digging, and I have not really come up for air since. Late to the party, fully committed.
The day job (it explains a lot)
When I am not performing, I am VP of Product at Zapier — where I joined nearly a decade ago as the company's very first Product Manager and have been part of growing it into one of the most widely used automation platforms in the world, serving millions of businesses and a significant chunk of the Fortune 1000.
I speak at conferences, host keynote sessions, and have been featured on podcasts including The Product Podcast, It Shipped That Way, and People of Product. The topics I care most about are leadership, how teams navigate change, and the very human challenge of showing up well in a world that keeps moving faster.
That background shapes how I approach magic too. I think carefully about the experience I am creating, not just the tricks I am performing. Every event is different. Every room reads differently. The details matter.
The home base
I live in Surrey, BC with Gina, our three teenage daughters, and our dog Bella — who has never once been fooled by a card trick.
When I get a stretch of time to myself, you will find me in the workshop doing woodwork, or out on Shuswap Lake, which is about as good as life gets.
Why hire someone like me?
Honestly? Because I am not doing this because I have to. I have a career I love and a full life outside of magic. I perform because I genuinely love what happens in a room when something impossible occurs right in front of someone. That look on a person's face — the one where they forget for a second that they are a composed adult at a professional event — that is what I am after every single time.
If you want someone who shows up prepared, takes your event seriously, and cares about the experience your guests walk away with, I think we will get along well.
