About Lindsay
Lindsay Wincherauk is a record-holding (Saskatoon Sports Hall of Fame) one-eyed quarterback, author, freelance opinion-editorial columnist, and a marketing + human resources guru for the No. 1 Labour Agency in Vancouver for over 14-years. Frequently, he’s been mistaken for Vin Diesel and the Domino Pizza Noid.
Most of that was true, except, of course, for the Noid. He knows his memoirs (Meta) are breathtakingly interesting, filled with unsettling twists and turns, amusing + disturbing family moments, giddiness, and gripping painful moments that morph quickly into brightness. With every page turned, he invites readers to take part in his life's ride. If the prose falters, he was told to add gratuitous high-speed nudity, naked nudity.
Here are the straight goods: Lindsay Wincherauk writes about what he sees; life, and a world filled with the seemingly unrelenting noise spinning around us daily. And, damn it, he sees a lot of life with his one working eye. Occasionally, he leaves normal and trips into atmospheric—a pleasant break from the mundane.
Unique traits: I can place all 197 countries of the world in their right place on a map, but I have trouble remembering the name of the street one block away from my home of 20 years. Oh, yeah, I think I might be a kind man!

My Life on The Slush Pile Biography My Life on the Slush Pile Immediately after being born, baby Lindsay Wincherauk is ripped from his mother’s arms and put in a glass-walled container in an empty room peeking out into a darkened world. Little did baby Lindsay know, he’d be having a turbulent forty-three years, the kind of years where he became a chalkboard with kid-after-kid lining up to drag their fingernails across his fragile being. A story about finding yourself after accidentally discovering your life started with a lie. Not every day do you meet someone who watched both of his parents die from The Big C and laid them to rest, only to discover sixteen years later that they weren’t his parents after all. It’s like being reborn as a whole different person.
