ABOUT ME

I'm an introvert-turned-extrovert, so I know what it's like to be shy and do very little, to work through that, and to embrace every possible experience you can think of (watch "Yes Man"... I'm like that). I have been blessed/ have forged a seemingly neverending optimism about people and life in general. Name an experience, and I can find the silver lining. People are of the utmost importance to me and most of my meaning for life revolves around trying to help and inspire others. I'm an enigma, wrapped in a mystery, poised as a question, and debated feverishly to inconclusive results; most people don't really get "me"... they get what I'm about. Honesty, being non-judgemental, questioning assumptions, and aspiring to better oneself are of crucial importance to me. I feel people should follow their dreams, as we are all capable of amazing things. I currently work with foster children and volunteer on a crisis line.

I'm also fairly tall, which gives me the added benefit of wowing spectators and onlookers with my stature, and reaching those hard to reach items.

Interests

People. I love people. Meeting them, inspiring them, organizing them for causes, learning from them, and helping them. I love music, dancing, volunteering, reading, movies, video games, cycling. I also co-run an online magazine that attempts to inspire people to "Live ethically and awesomely:

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I drove out to Vancouver from Winnipeg, then a friend and I biked down to California. A life changing experience. Amazing how you can change your life in 30 days.

Skydiving; it's an experience like nothing else in life. I can barely describe it. The moment you step foot of the plane you are breaking every impulse you have wired into you... it's amazing.

Spoke as the guest of honour at a dinner for the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Manitoba. My bike team, as well as hundreds of others had biked 80kms to raise money and awareness for M.S. I probably spoke to about 1000 people; an honour I was given because I was the Team Leader for my bike time, and we tripled our size in one year.
