About

My name is Range. It has been my nickname since I was 6. Across two continents and three countries, it has followed me like an indelible mark.

I write stuff, create stuff and photograph stuff. I have a wife, a doggie named Spike, and a kitten named Yoda. I’m also a freelance blogger. I write for Apartment Therapy/Unplggd. You can check out my posts over there or on this blog. I’ve been a part-time journalist since ‘98 in print, web, and radio media. I currently have a few more spots open in my schedule for freelance blog posts and/or articles.

I’ve been teaching ESL in Taiwan for three years. I’ve recently gone back to Canada and returned to my family in Taiwan. My family being my wife, my doggie Spike, and my cat Yoda. I’ve gone back to study mathematics to complete a master’s degree. Professors have told me that I could qualify for a “Passage au doc“. My life is split between opposites sides of the world, Taiwan and Quebec. I’m fluent in English, French and German. I’m studying Mandarin and working on my Spanish part time (for years without much progress really, since I can’t practice it at all).

I’ve worked in IT and finance for a few years. I’ve become enamored with mathematics again, after a break of a few years. I’m interested in topology, abstract analysis, complex analysis, and measure theory. I also like abstract algebra. I’m currently looking to become a research assistant in mathematics.
