Who is this guy, anyway?

A native of Mount Pearl, Newfoundland, Mr. Penny graduated from Memorial University of Newfoundland in 1995 with a degree in political science, and obtained his law degree from the University of New Brunswick in 1998.

​

He was called to the Bar of Newfoundland and Labrador the following year, and became a member of the Nova Scotia Barristers’ Society in 2007.

​

Mr. Penny is a proud father of two young sons, and lives in Cole Harbour, Nova Scotia. An avid writer, Penny maintains the Substack newsletter Rigid Thinking. 

​

In his spare time (what spare time?) Penny enjoys hiking and cycling, history podcasts, B-movies with Rifftrax, and watching Formula One and NASCAR racing.  He is also a longtime fan of the Chicago Bears, for which condolences can be sent using the contact form on this website.
