I’ve performed across North America as rapper Young Braised, graduated from clown school (yes, it’s a real thing), and travelled around the world (literally) in 7 months. Oh! And spent 7 years running social media accounts, blogging, and writing emails and web copy for organizations like:

“We hired Jaymes to write fresh product descriptions that matched the SEO research for our website relaunch. We are incredibly happy with our search/conversion results and the unique voice he gave the Clubcard brand. This translated well into an expanded role managing our social media and online presence. Jaymes has an outstanding ability to write copy that is relevant, appealing, and persuasive in language that is fine-tuned to the audience.”

I am currently sharing ideas through a monthly newsletter at Andrew Ward Worldwide, editing a graphic novel for artist and author Zen Wang, and writing/performing sketch comedy with Really Cool Productions.
When I’m not playing with words, I’m playing catch up with everything I want to learn (guitar, piano, Spanish, how to ride a motorcycle) or playing with my 3-year-old daughter. We also work together at our local Family Place, hosting a free pancake breakfast for dads and kids every Saturday.
Occasionally I do stand up, but I try to move my body as much (basketball, running, yoga, qigong, dance) and as little (meditation, reading) as possible every day.
