The Beaverton Presents Glorious and/or Free

LUKE GORDON FIELD is editor-in-chief of the Beaverton website and co-executive producer of the critically acclaimed Beaverton television series. After attending Upper Canada College, Luke studied Canadian History at Queen’s University, graduating with distinction. He then completed his JDat Osgoode Hall Law School and took the next logical step: becoming a stand-up comedian and comedy writer. As a stand-up he has had the pleasure of touring all over Canada and very specific parts of America. His greatest passion remains The Beaverton, which he has run since 2012, helping it become the culturally dominant media empire it is today. He knows an absurd amount of trivia about William Lyon McKenzie King, and would be happy to tell you some if you’ll listen.

ALEX HUNTLEY is an editor and senior writer with The Beaverton. Born and raised in Niagara, he earned a BA with Honours in politics and history and a Master’s in Public Administration from Queen’s University, and has an expired basic first aid certificate from the distinguished school of St. John’s Ambulance. Since joining The Beaverton in 2012, this government policy analyst turned comedy writer has expanded the publication’s presence in Canada by living in Montreal, Whitehorse, and exotic Winnipeg while recruiting local writers. Having a love affair with Canadian history since childhood, he created The Beaverton’s Moments in Canadian History in 2013. Writing a book satirizing the nation’s story is a dream come true. He lives with his wife in Kingston.
