Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To have as many interesting and bizzare experiences as possible. Jamming two lifetimes into one.
ABOUT ME
Fun in any form is usually what I enjoy, so long as it is reasonably sane. I jog 5K everyday and enjoy reading the news (it is more of an addiction than anything else). When I am not doing that I am watching or listening to baseball and when I am not doing that I am with friends enjoying a drink or two just before I light the dance floor on fire.
I am a graduate student at the University of Ottawa, and I aspire to become a lawyer after finishing here. If it works out along the way, I might jump into the political ring. I would also like to have a family at some point but not before traveling and enjoying married life sans children.
I have an honours degree in Political Studies from Trent University in Peterborough, and while I was there I was the Student Union President (Insane stories). I have always been involved in political roles, everything from Student Council President, School Board Trustee to University Student President. However, this is the least important part of my life. I am a people person, I love to laugh and make others laugh.
PHILOSOPHY
This one is tough because I live by so many different ones, ask any friends of mine and they will tell you that any time we grab a pint or talk about anything I will usually mention "a philosophy of mine".
1. I must jam two life times into one.
2. Nothing is life is worth doing unless it involves risk.
3. Not all opinions are equal
4. Equal Opportunity but not Equal Outcomes
5. Live a life full of love and let it live through me. It is much more exhausting to hate.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
The most amazing thing I have ever done was walk through the streets of Havana with a "Chivichana" that I bought from some nino's in the inner city. I was stopped literally by every family and person in the streets, spoke with each person, was invited into their homes, given mojitos, laughed at, smiled at, and applauded. I had never felt so welcomed. Great story, can't wait to share.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach you how to score a baseball game, how to run a political campaign, how to do your school readings in half the time, how to solve a rubik's cube in less than five minutes, how to run 10KM without dying (we can run together if you'd like), Macintosh computer keyboard shortcuts, how to make the perfect Yorkshire pudding, the French language, anything about the Canadian Political Landscape, how to make the perfect sandwich, how to carve a chicken or turkey (perfectly), how to canoe, trap shoot, write a poem and much much more.
I want to learn German, how to play guitar, calculus (brush up), anything and everything.
