Galen's bio

A three-year-old boy sits beside his mother and learns to draw the difficult, magical shapes that she says will let him speak to his beloved grandmother hundreds of miles away. "Hi gran".

Since childhood, I have been fascinated by  the power of words to connect people, and have been mentored in the craft of writing by an editor and three authors. 

My curiosity and vision have always drawn me to the leading edge in various fields. First, my early passion for science and technology led me to earn a Bachelor of Science degree (University of Western Ontario). I consulted in the computer industry for nine years in database development and system simulations (Nortel, Nova Pipelines, Phillips Petroleum, City of Calgary). 

Next, my love of nature and my vision for a healthy planet led me to work in the health food industry on a board of directors and in customer service. 

Then my work in filmmaking showed me the critical need to connect with the audience. Recently, I studied film and semiotics, the science of how meaning is created, in order to get inside the mind of the viewer (University of Toronto). 

Meanwhile, my commitment to life-long learning and personal development led me to meditation and other self-awareness disciplines, giving me the insight of an outside perspective. 

I now live in Victoria, BC, drawing together the threads of my life to help leading-edge organizations create connection.
