Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Traverse the globe in search of........ myself, but I'm pretty sneaky so it may be difficult
ABOUT ME
I am a Friendly, Adventurous, Creative Artist from Canada making my way across the world starting with Australia, New Zealand and then Asia.... In canada I spend most of my time making music, films and painting whenever I get the chance... I work in the film industry on various block buster hollywood films and television series to pay the bills. I also work as a photographer for weddings and simple shoots to help fellow artists build their port folios.
PHILOSOPHY
Personally, I try to live my life for other people... I believe that if everyone took care of the person to their left, no one would ever go without....
Oddly enough I learned that idea from a movie about war (hahaha) In the movie *300* every soldier defends the soldier next to him thigh to neck and thats what made the whole team indestructible... I feel if we all did that with our neighbours no one would ever need to worry or go without

Interests
I love doing anything related to art ... anything at all.. but I also come from a family of athletes.. I may be interested in art but its not a genetic thing... my dad and my sister are both heavily involved in canada's olympic boxing team and they both run respected clubs in British Columbia Canada.

Music, Movies, and Books
I love the band Goldfish, Nat King Cole, Etta James, Metallica, Alicia Keys, Adele and many many many more.. It's easier listing what I don't like... i think All music has a time and a place.
As for movies I can be really picky because It's what I do for a living.. But I still love most of em
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Working in the film industry on high budget productions ive seen some amazing things.. from 150 foot high mushroom clouds to 300 extras dressed as zombies and beasts enjoying their coffees and snacks on set talking about the weather and other mundane topics :)... as far as my life outside work, i love spending time in raw nature with no line ups and no admission charges.. I spend any time I can out in the Rocky mountains of canada star gazing and enjoying all of nature's exciting sites
Teach, Learn, Share
Hmmm.. this is a hard box to fill..
I actually AM a teacher in Canada.. For a few years now I have taught classes in: Dance, Singing, Musical Theater, fitness and Improvisational comedy.. I also obviously am a fully trained Boxing and self defence coach.. My family has run one of the most successful boxing clubs in the country for about 11 years and we have all been competitive boxers since we were old enough to walk.. unfortunately I didnt make the best boxer because I'm no good at hurting people.. So I started coaching when I was 14 and havent looked back since....
As for what I'd like to learn... I would love to learn German and as many languages as possible... I'd also love to learn Judo and any thing ANYONE can teach me about photography...
You never stop learning
