He is a graduate of Wilfrid Laurier University (with an Honours English degree) and Centennial College (with a Book and Magazine Publishing diploma). After the birth of his son Harrison and daughter Hayley, Harry began creating stories for their amusement – and as a means to keep them from running amuck (if just for a moment). Harry has written numerous books for the Max & Ruby series (based on the popular show on Treehouse TV). Harry lives with his wife and children – his creative collaborators – in a previously quiet neighbourhood in Southern Ontario.
