About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy time with my family.

ABOUT ME

I'm a 33 year old lad from North QLD, I've travelled all over Australia for my work and also when I was growing up, I love the outdoors, different cultures and meeting interesting people. I now live in Calgary, Canada with my wife and two kids.

Question everything.
Work hard.
Be yourself.
