Iain K. MacLeod
He/Him | Born to be mild. Great-great-great grandnephew of Angus “Giant” MacAskill. Worked skateboard check at 1994 Gobblefest.
Hi, my name is Iain K. MacLeod and I'm just another CIS human male on the Internet.
🚽 Fun Fact! Iain is a name of Scottish Gaelic origin, while Ian is it's Anglicization; both spellings correspond to the English name John.
I was born in Sydney, Cape Breton and live in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada with my family. I also lived briefly in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island but not sure how much that counts.
I went to school at Chebucto Heights, Mary Lawson, Admiral Westphal, Sheriff, Sydney Academy, U.P.E.I, and U.C.C.B. I have worked breifly in retail and with Celtic Colours, Coast Publishing, the Atlantic Film Festival, Spectacle Group, and the Government of Nova Scotia. I also write for fun and end up helping people with technical problems even though I would consider it emotional support.
You can find out more about me on the following websites:
