About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To explore and find what I'm looking for, whatever that may be.

ABOUT ME

I enjoy the relaxed attitude of small towns, the excitement of big cities and the calm of the forest and the ocean. I have a liberal attitude, and look at the bigger picture as opposed to small details. I talk a lot, especially when its something I'm passionate about, but I love to hear what others have to say.

The west coast of Canada will always be home, but I haven't lived there for a while now.

PHILOSOPHY

Take it all in. Hear the rain, feel the sun, taste the wine, love your friends and tell them so. If you can't feel the mud squishing between your toes, you're not getting dirty enough. If you're not grinning ear to ear so your eyes can barely open, you're not playing hard enough.

Everything happens for a reason.

Live your life, don't be a spectator.
