Klinck's odyssey in the realm of theatre commenced when he made the bold decision to relocate to Toronto at the tender age of 18, driven by an unrelenting passion to pursue a degree in theatre at York University. Despite the allure of academic pursuits, his trajectory took a dramatic turn as he chose to focus on his career, opting to prioritize his professional aspirations over further education. In the year 1996, his literary masterpiece, Tacones (High Heels),made a resounding entrance into the literary world, claiming the top prize at the esteemed Three-Day Novel Contest. Anvil Press promptly published the novel, which garnered widespread acclaim from the Toronto Star and Quill and Quire, solidifying Klinck's reputation as a talented and innovative writer.

Klinck's creative pursuits extended far beyond his initial ventures. He embarked on a collaborative endeavour with John Palmer and Jaie Laplante, co-authoring the screenplay for the 2004 film Sugar. This cinematic endeavour garnered a prestigious nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay at the 25th Genie Awards, a testament to the trio's skill and dedication.

Furthermore, Klinck's writing talents were showcased in a column for fab, which he contributed to until 2005. His thoughts and opinions were also published in an online-only column, "Sex Play", for Xtra! in 2009. His writing has been featured in a variety of esteemed publications, including the National Post, Saturday Night, and Bil Bo K, a Belgian magazine.

Klinck, a pioneering entrepreneur, has collaborated with his business partner, Mandy Goodhandy, to establish a diverse array of sex-related enterprises in the Toronto area. Their entrepreneurial endeavors have included the co-founding of a transgender strip club, aptly named "The Lounge", which has become a staple in the local adult entertainment scene.

Furthermore, Klinck and Goodhandy have also ventured into the realm of adult DVD production with the establishment of "Mayhem North", a company dedicated to creating high-quality adult content. Additionally, they have launched a porn site, "Amateur Canadian Guys", which has garnered significant attention and popularity in the online adult entertainment community.

In 2006, the duo opened "Goodhandy's", a pansexual nightclub situated in the heart of downtown Toronto, providing a unique and inclusive space for individuals to socialize and indulge in their desires. Apart from his entrepreneurial pursuits, Klinck has also honed his skills as a professional BDSM dominant and has made notable appearances on the television series "KinK", solidifying his reputation as a prominent figure in the BDSM community.
