CURRENT MISSION

Build. Grow. Enjoy. Appreciate.

ABOUT ME

I have a pretty great life, and it's tough for me to complain about anything: I get paid to speak my mind, make people laugh, and run team-building sessions, and my job keeps me surrounded by positive people who offer more to me than I could ever hope to give back. I have opportunities to sing with people I care about and perform for people who appreciate it. I love a variety of foods and have money to eat them. I have been fortunate to travel a bit, and I'm incredibly grateful for the opportunities living in Canada affords me! I strive to be a "can do" person, and I'm not a fan of working with "no can do" people.

Music, Movies, and Books

Life is Beautiful (subtitled, not dubbed). All music is pretty wonderful. I don't read as much as I should, but I tend to read non-fiction. I have a long list of "to reads". Since September 2007 I've had the goal of reading a book every 2 weeks - so far so good. Stumbling on Happiness (a psychology book about why we suck at predicting what will make us happy) was a recent great.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I pet a Cheetah in Kenya (it was tame). It purred and licked me. I nearly wet myself.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can help people to juggle- I'm a decent coach. I'd like to learn French well enough that one day, when I meet someone who speaks a bit of English, we decide to converse in French (because my French is better than the other's English). So far, we always revert to English.
