ABOUT ME

I grew up in the burbs of New York where I learned to play guitar, bbq, cuss, and not mind inconveniences. I moved to Montreal at 18 to attend McGill University where I studied history & economics. At some point, I realized I don't like graphs and decided I like fish better and moved to Nova Scotia. I reversed that opinion and decided i like both fish and folks, so I upped and moved to Ottawa to work in fisheries policy. I'm easy going. I play folk/country music and read a lot. I spend a lot of time cooking and enjoy food a lot. Oh, and I travel.

PHILOSOPHY
