About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To experience the world unfolding before our eyes.

ABOUT ME

I'm 32 years old, and grew up in a small brown city in Southwestern Ontario, until I moved to study Philosophy. Community, justice, travel, and learning are important to me.
Vince is 43, and has owned a small record store for 18 years. He was really into punk rock in the 80s. He even ate ketchup sandwiches for a few months so he could afford to live in San Diego. He has been a vegetarian for 27 years.
We both love meeting new people, and great conversation, even though we're both a little shy.
