About Me

CURRENT MISSION

awesome things within a couple thousand kilometres around Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada, Earth, Solar System, Milky Way, Laniakea, Universe

ABOUT ME

I've mostly had my nose buried in textbooks for the last many years, but got around to some good travelling a few summers ago. I biked about 1400km, hitchhiked a few hundred, and eventually made it from Amsterdam to Athens! An amazing amazing experience. I have a B.Ed. from the University of Calgary and am in med school at the University of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia. Pam, my partner, and I love the outdoors, running, yoga, learning, pretty much just doing things. We'd be up for most anything. I also compose and perform songs. https://soundcloud.com/dolphinbuffalo

PHILOSOPHY

Give and learn.
