About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To make everyone aware that there is a different path to be travelled, concerning the environment.

ABOUT ME

I am 51, have a fabulous 49 year wife Michelle and a great 19 year old daughter as well as 2 cats. I am presently living in Pemberton BC, a small farming community/ tourist bedroom town working for Whistler as we are only 25 minuted away from it. We enjoy swimming, living in nature, traveling and meeting new people. We are continuously writing, painting and inventing. I am also building alternative energy systems.

PHILOSOPHY

I am not sure if I can teach an old dog new tricks, but I am trying.
(environment wise)
