He is best known as the co-author of the book The Peter Principle with Laurence J. Peter. He is also known for the saying "He who trims himself to suit everyone will soon whittle himself away."
He studied creative writing at the University of British Columbia at the age 30 after discovering he had an aptitude for the craft.
