Role
Founder of Les Éditions J.A.M and author of the first title in the catalog.

Turning point
The 1996 Saguenay flood, in which he lost his brother and sister at the age of five.

Publisher
A publishing house built to carry a legacy while opening space for other voices.

Path

Marked from childhood by a collective tragedy that became a family wound, he grew up with absence, silence, and the need to understand. His writing was built in that space: to speak what remains, to name what was lost, and to give back a place to those whom history could have reduced to a simple archive.

What runs through his writing

Memory
Preserving faces, bonds, and the human truth behind public events.

Resilience
Exploring rebuilding without erasing violence, grief, or fragility.

Light within chaos
Searching for what still allows us to love, transmit, and move forward through fracture.
