CURRENT MISSION

Enrich my life by sharing with others

ABOUT ME

I'm a searcher for knowledge in this world. Most of my spare time I use to practice certain crafts (bicycle mechanics, photography, music, etc) and expand my understanding of the world either first hand, or by reading (because I can't exactly meet Da Vinci, now can I?!)

I believe in the balance of a healthy body and healthy mind. One cannot be without the other. I'm mostly vegetarian and love cooking, though I will indulge in the odd bit of meat now and again. I'm very physically active, practicing yoga several times weekly and commuting via bicycle, when work allows it.

I'm Currently employed as a municipal solid waste engineer in Barrie. I work on the environmental monitoring of the landfill site and management of the greenhouse gas emissions from the City's landfill.

I'm an INFJ (Briggs-Meyer Personality type).

PHILOSOPHY

Roll with it, and don't sweat the little things.
