Bigfoot Press is the name I chose as my "imprint" - the trade name under which I self-publish my books.

Why did I choose that name, you ask?

Well, first off, I'm almost two metres tall and I like to trail run. My trail running buddies have nicknamed me "Bigfoot" and "Sasquatch" due to the manner in which I sometimes crashed through the woods. Second, look at the below photos. On the left is a frame from the 1967 Patterson/Gimlin film allegedly capturing Bigfoot in a forest in Northern California. On the right is yours truly during the 2010 Ironman Canada triathlon in Penticton, BC.

Isn't the resemblance remarkable?
