After so much time in the fishing industry I got myself an MBA to make a life for myself off the water. Having my foot in multiple sectors is what keeps things interesting. This is a great excuse to loosen the tie a bit and indulge my two loves: travel and Vancouver!
Who Am I?
After so much time in the fishing industry I got myself an MBA to make a life for myself off the water. Having my foot in multiple sectors is what keeps things interesting.
This is a great excuse to loosen the tie a bit and indulge my two loves: travel and Vancouver! I’m always out there soaking up what my city has to offer so I can report it back to you.
I truly believe that you only discover a place fully if you dive head first into the cuisine.
In another life I would’ve been a chef.
If I had to select my three favourite destinations they’d be Argentina, Japan, and Italy.
What I'm Into
- I play hockey at least 3 times a week – how Canadian of me!
- Exploring new recipes (mostly Italian) and perfecting cooking techniques
- Fishing along the Vedder River for sockeye, pinks, and chum salmon
- Travelling abroad at least once every six months (Brazil is next)
- Going to the gym in between website update sessions
- I’ve been a financial consultant (haven’t lost anybody any money yet! :P)
- Cycling through the Endownment Lands to pop out at Locarno Beach
