About Me

ABOUT ME

I try to play outside as much as possible. I work at the Canadian Avalanche Association. I love to ski, bike, canoe, cook, dance, laugh, wear costumes, and go on adventures.

PHILOSOPHY

Trusting my intuition. Keeping busy. Staying engaged in my community. Play outside. Eating great food.

Music, Movies, and Books

I've got a Masters degree in literature, so I love reading books. Life isn't complete without a bookshelf to choose from. At our house we always have a great variety of magazines: the Economist, the Walrus, Freeskier, Kootenay Mountain Culture, and any number of bike and ski mags.

I love listening to music. I have a deep reverence for house music, but I'm pretty happy grooving to anything that's on, from bluegrass to reggae to gospel and funk to indie rock to electroswing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Watching heaps of Southern Right Whales breaching in Walker Bay in South Africa.

Skiing chest deep powder right here in Revelstoke.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can show you some rad terrain in Revelstoke, whether you're on skis or a bicycle or using two feet and a heartbeat.
