Originating from London, ON, Austin has lived and worked in Thunder Bay for close to a decade, including time spent obtaining his HBA and MA in English at Lakehead University. Now, he happily contributes to the ever-evolving landscape of journalism in Northern Ontario through Canada's LJI program and swears he is going to complete that novel he's been working on.
He currently resides on the Fort William side of Thunder Bay with his partner and their adopted cat (see: furry dependent), Tux.
