- Don was born in North Bay, Ontario in the summer of 1969. His father, Haig (Gordon Pinsent's brother), was a Master Warrant Officer in the Canadian Air Force, and his mother, Faith, was a homemaker. They would eventually have twelve children, ten surviving. The Air Force moved the family around a bit, but they landed again in North Bay where Haig retired in 1978. Don began drawing and creating his own cartoon and comic strip characters at a very young age. In high school, he focused on his art and developed his talents for cartooning and caricatures, but he was also involved in theater. A funny and clever writer and performer, Don wrote and developed plays, skits and stand-up routines with friends, and even found time to write songs and teach himself the harmonica. After serving a two-year mission in the Philippines for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, he married and went to Sheridan College near Toronto to major in animation. Upon graduation, he was immediately hired by a Halifax studio, where he has lived ever since. He now has three children, and in addition to animating can be found on the Halifax boardwalk drawing caricatures for tourists.- IMDb Mini Biography By: Anonymous
