The work behind the writing

A career spent looking beneath the surface.

Donald’s writing grew from a simple habit: looking past what a situation appears to be and asking what is really happening underneath.

For more than three decades, he has worked in safety, leadership, operations and high risk environments. His professional experience has brought him alongside senior leaders, regulators, technical experts, frontline workers and safety teams, with a focus on how real systems behave under pressure.

That experience became a large body of writing. Donald has written more than 1,000 articles across numerous subjects. His published work includes OHS Canada, where he has written about safety, leadership and the conditions that allow problems to form before consequences make them obvious.

Today his work moves between fiction and nonfiction. The subjects may look different, but the underlying interest is remarkably consistent: truth, people, pressure, preparation, faith, family and what becomes possible when reality is finally faced.

One body of work

Story, systems and the human condition.

Donald’s work crosses genres because the questions he writes about cross real life too.

01

Fiction

Truth carried through story.

The fiction explores family, silence, faith, love, regret and the truths people sometimes carry for years before they can name them.

02

Nonfiction

Useful writing for real pressure.

The nonfiction looks at human capacity, leadership, safety, resilience, truth and the difficult moments when people need more than a slogan or easy answer.

03

TTP

Seeing failure while it is still forming.

TTP brings together Truth, Tempo, Preparation and Capacity Margin as a way to examine whether people and systems are still able to see, respond and remain strong under pressure.

The thread

Different subjects can still lead to the same place: a clearer look at truth, the people carrying it, and what happens next.
