Who Am I?

I grew up in Vancouver – all those years ago.

What I'm Into

  • Hockey has been a lifelong passion: and the Canucks a lifelong frustration
  • Playing Texas Hold’em (let’s compare starting ranges!) against drunk tourists
  • Silver stacking (and wishing I’d put it into crypto instead)
  • Always wanted to be a pizzaoiolo (but would probably hate it)
  • Muay thai boxing and padel are two new loves
  • Growing herbs on balconies cuz I don’t have a yard
  • Creative writing and screenplays
  • Website creation (I’ve got Rome and Barcelona sites too)
