Back home

Being a father is easily the most fulfilling part of my life. I'm engaged to my fiancée Andrea, and the family we're building together is the thing I'm proudest of. I'm based in Ontario, Canada, and I've spent the past decade and a half working in and around the Canadian tourism industry.

I've taught at Fanshawe College and Western University, and I hold a Master's in Strategic Foresight & Innovation from OCAD University and a certificate in Cultural Planning from UBC.

When I'm not working, I enjoy taking photos with my really old and trusty Canon 5D Classic (20 years old and still going strong), heading to the sauna, hot tub, spa, swimming, or doing other Pisces-type activities. I enjoy running, reluctantly lift weights, and try to leave the house as much as possible.

Words to Live By

"A master in the art of living draws no sharp distinction between his work and his play; his labor and his leisure; his mind and his body; his education and his recreation. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence through whatever he is doing, and leaves others to determine whether he is working or playing. To himself, he always appears to be doing both."
— L.P. Jacks
