Tim Kitz grew up in the Kitchisippi (AKA Ottawa River) watershed and has spent most of his life on Canada's East Coast, with forays down to big cities by the Great Lakes. He joined Quakers as a recovering Pentecostal pastor's kid in a full-blown existential crisis from a liberal arts university degree. Tim edits words for the Canadian Friend and the Leveller to pay the bills and makes a racket in a blackgrass duo to have fun.
