He graduated from the University of British Columbia and worked on a railroad extra-gang, on tugboats, and as a boat-builder. He then became a photographer, book editor, and writer. He has lived in Vancouver, Laguna Beach, Whistler Mountain, New York City, Paris, and Rome, and now resides on a wine estate in Tuscany with his wife, painter and winemaker Candace Máté, and their son, Peter.
