Made it onto Regina's slam poetry team, and competed in Canada's national slam poetry competition, the Canadian Festival of Spoken Word twice. I hitchhiked from Regina to Vancouver (1700 km!) for a national poetry competition, and couchsurfed the whole time. Flew to Nimes with a ticket to This is not a Love Song Festival and no plan, then found some local musician playing a show, stayed until the end and helped him load his gear afterwards. I ended up crashing at his place!

I love learning, and I love teaching. I'm a little bit obsessed with constantly improving myself, so that includes learning new skills and obtaining more knowledge all the time

Basic knowledge on guitar and bass, information about slam poetry and anything else I'm involved in, and lots of stories :)

Music,I play in a psychedelic noise punk band called the marching martian marshmellotrons and I have started playing solo shows! However, my favourite thing is goofy improvised jams in the living room. I enjoy various types of music from folk and bluegrass to skate punk and prog rock. I like to read, non-fiction as well as fiction. I enjoy pretty much all types of games (card games, board games, improv theatre games, drinking games etc). I love film and TV. I like writing poetry and songs. I competed in, and hosted poetry slams/ open stage events monthly in Canada.
