About Me

I was born in Poznan, Poland. Lived there until I was 4 years old when my parents decided to leave the iron curtain and moved to Bremerhaven, West Germany. Lived there for 3.5 years and began elementary school so at one point I could speak fluent German. When I was 7.5 my parents were given the option to move our family to Canada. So we left everything and moved to Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Lived there for 5 years and my parents decided to move to Vancouver , British Columbia where I reside now and have live for the past 20+ years. I am a sheet metal worker specializing in stainless steel work. I love to fabricate and take pride in my work. I love the outdoors, and am very into skiing, mointain biking, camping and 4x4ing. I love to take the long way around and am always up for an adventure.
