Kirk is the co-founder of Travelabulous, a software startup that is making travel planning as much fun as the trip itself. Kirk lives in Ottawa, but he hails from Nova Scotia. He moved to Ottawa in 1999 to run his first startup, which he did until the market downturn in 2001.

Between startups, Kirk worked in senior product management and marketing jobs at Cognos, Radialpoint, IBM and Kinaxis.
