About Me

ABOUT ME

Hanging out in Vancouver, occasionally doing some school work, but mostly biking and loving this city. I love all things outdoors (backcountry camping, hiking, etc) and I'm an avid cyclist (mountain and road). I think soil is pretty cool. Without soil, we are nothing. Yes, that sounds really nerdy, but I'm ok with that.

PHILOSOPHY

"Simplify, Simplify"
