After careers in law and architecture, I have had the good fortune to be able to take sufficient time in my retirement to explore other latent interests of mine in writing, music and art.  I resided in Niagara Falls Ont. for much of my life, and practiced law there.

In mid-life, I moved to Vancouver, B.C. to study architecture, and ended up staying on the west coast of Canada. After several years of practicing architecture, I am now retired and reside in White Rock, a suburb of Vancouver, located just north of the international border.

Music has been a life long hobby for me, but since retirement I have had rather more time to devote to my music, and particularly to the theatre organ.  For a number of years now I have been giving concerts at the Mount Baker Theatre in Bellingham, WA, both in solo performance and with a talented musical partner, Ms Dorothy Watson.

Painting has also been a keen interest of mine over the years of my retirement.  I have had the good fortune to take art lessons from many fine instructors.  Some artists attempt to give a deep philosophical meaning to their art.  For me, I love creating works of art that are beautiful to me.  You can view my paintings at hallogan.com/paintings.

Writing has come to me somewhat later in life.  My first book was written some ten or twelve years ago, and was a commentary on our society as I observed it at that time.  For many years I have been a Futurist, and my first book which was entitled 'There’s More To Life Than The Bottom Line'was a commentary on what I saw as a society highly focused on money and ever expanding profits.  My second book 'Beyond the Crash!  Building an Economic & Ecological Democracy' is likewise a commentary on society, but with more emphasis on creating a society after the crash that would work for people and as well the planet.  After experiencing many years of a society rushing madly for ever increasing profits while ignoring the pressing needs of people and the planet, I decided to write this book.  I have been fortunate to receive positive endorsements for my book from many persons whom I regard as having great knowledge in this area.
