Greg Jorgensen hails from a wee town in mid-western Canada with a name that’s hard to pronounce and even harder to remember. After spending a few years in film school and learning how to lift heavy equipment for abusive producers, he ended up in Bangkok in 2001 where he currently lives, works and sleeps. Since then, he has worked as a corporate trainer, stand-up comedian, tour guide, proofreader and actor (usually playing a bad guy or a bodyguard that gets killed). These days he’s happy spending much of his time as a writer and fondly thinking about how many kilometers lie between him and a Canadian winter. His blog can be found at www.GregToDiffer.com.
