He had no formal education beyond high school, and worked at a variety of jobs, from common labourer, truck driver, Cat skinner, chokerman, boxcar loader, Industrial First-Aid Man in the northern bush, to clerk at a number of sawmills in the Interior of British Columbia, salesman, office manager, and an Industrial Accountant. He began writing in earnest in the early 1960s, moving to Vancouver in early 1965 to work and to join the new generation of artists and writers who were then coming of age.
