About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Get ready for the real world

ABOUT ME

I am an active person, love the outdoors, good music and most any sports or games.

I am silly, so if you like to be silly, or like silly people we will get along.

If I were an animated character I would most likely be Goofy. Uck-Yuck

PHILOSOPHY

Just Give'r. Be Friendly. Get outside. Press On.

Why Not?

Interests

I am interested in all types of team sports and any outdoor pursuits. This includes basketball, soccer, baseball, running, hiking, squash, rugby, skiing, rock climbing, mountaineering, canoeing, sailing and just about anything else you can think of.

Recently got addicted to SCUBA diving, done as much as I can afford!

Music, Movies, and Books

My Favorite movies are Zoolander, The Lion King and Super Troopers

My Favorite musician is a gentleman named C.R. Avery. Look him up. Also a big fan of Metric, just getting in to Florence and the Machine, Kid Cudi.

For music I prefer to listen to a whole album rather than a couple songs, especially with new artists.

I have just finished reading Moby Dick, and usually try to read one "heavy" or classic book when I can manage it. I usually favor Sci Fi, especially short stories where you can examine one theme explicitly.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Trekked the West Coast Trail. 75km and 7 days of rugged, beautiful, rain forest terrain on the western coast of Vancouver Island.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would like to learn how to kitesurf, play guitar and speak Spanish. These are all new projects for me.
I'm fairly pro at cheap, easy and delicious meals. Well, at least I think they're delicious.
I will teach you to make perogies if we can find the right ingredients and have a massive amount of time
