CURRENT MISSION

To avoid being comfortably numb.

ABOUT ME

I am not much of a planner... it didn't take long for me to learn that plans never go as planned.

I love to travel and explore new places, and try new things. I like to think I would try anything at least once.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm not into anything fancy. I believe that living simply and appreciating the moment is one of the most important parts of living.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ski trips in BC, downhilling at Whistler, mission trip to Guatemala was pretty life changing, backpacked through 16 countries for half a year, driving around Iceland was great. 2019 Edit: now having 3 kids is far more amazing and exciting than any travel I had done. We have also traveled a bunch with our kids which has been an amazing experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

Don't get hung up on plans, they often get in the way of great experiences.

Glad to hang out and cook a meal.
