About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Put one foot ahead of the other, enjoy the rhythm of it all, and the beautiful things in simplicity.

ABOUT ME

Hello!
I'm a nature loving carpenter from the Ottawa area, and am excited to see what will unfold over the next year. I love playing, and listening to music, and am ALWAYS down for a jam. I have also: Worked on a small dairy farm for a year, was a life guard and leader at a Christian summer camp, worked this past summer part-time for an organic farm, and was a wild game butcher.

I'm a quick learner, hard worker, and enjoy sustainable living and being a good steward of the world that God has given us.

PHILOSOPHY

Love your neighbour as yourself. Pride is one of the worst things that is out there, be humble.
