On a career break here of sorts so around more than usual. I grew up on a small island, travelled a lot, studied a lot, was 3 years in Canadian forces, studied overseas, worked as an immigration advisor, on some film projects, building ice climbing towers, instructed rock climbing. Current projects are building and enhancing on my property here in Yukon - setting up blacksmith shop and planning for future house, sauna, bunkhouse, greenhouse... so many projects! My main hobby is still climbing -rock or ice but sometime boats hikes and camping ar involved.
