About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Tread lightly and try everything at least twice.

ABOUT ME

A few years ago, I embraced my Scandinavian heritage and started Norwegian lessons in Canada. After a few years of not getting very far with it, I started looking for jobs abroad and found myself moving to Denmark. It's not Norway but my job allows me to work there.

Since being over on this side of the ocean, I've lived in Barcelona for about a year, London for just over a year and Denmark since 2010. And through it all, I've met my fantastic wife and started a great family. I really lucked out!!

PHILOSOPHY

As our lives and friendships continue to expand worldwide, one thing will remain constant - any stay with us will be more than just a visit, for we are vested to create extraordinary experiences with extraordinary friends.

Music, Movies, and Books

I work in entertainment and love seeing live gigs but when I get a song stuck in my head, I couldn't tell you who sings it or what the words are. Though that doesn't stop me from singing it all the same. I like music that fits the moment.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've made this leap of faith in hope to bring something important back into my family.

And I've been hypnotised 23 times. I find it really relaxing..

Teach, Learn, Share

The goal was 7 languages in 10 years. I was off to good start but now I'm stuck with the last two! It's exhausting!

As for my other list of things to do this year, here they are in no particular order:

Play 1 song from start to end on guitar.
Read at least 3 books in a year.
Swim in the sea confidently.
Laser eye surgery/Bionic eyes.
Take singing lessons.
Talk with my brother/sister at least every 3 months.
