About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live, Leanrn, Travel, Work, Love, Play and Give back!!!

ABOUT ME

I consider myself like just a normal person with a big passion for life and people. I love working with kids. Probably my biggest passion in life… Close second would be being in nature. I have had the opportunity throughout my life to “play” (I love that word) with kids. I was a big brother for two school-aged children in Montreal and last year, a few buddies and I took up coaching hockey for a peewee A team in the west of Montreal. Loved it. I was also fortunate enough to travel very far, Thailand, were I stayed for a whole month to teach English to kids, to build a house and to play soccer with kids who where probably twice as good as I was even tough they were half my size. So I guess the saying is true… Size doesn’t matter. Well I think that’s how the saying goes. Anyways. Also, I am just finishing going on tours to New York City as a tour guide for elementary schools and high schools from all over Quebec. I am also an avid learner and I just finished my degree in psychology. Don’t ask what I plan to do with this degree. I don’t know. But it was fun. I enjoyed it. I also had the opportunity to travel all around south east Asia, and a bit of Europe.
Enough with the rambling now, How would you define myself in a few words? A happy, passionate and enthusiastic creature. Yes creature. I think that defines me pretty well. I also volunteer 4 hours a week at a suicide crisis intervention helpline. It’s not easy work but it shows me how valuable and great our only chance on earth really is. This is why I am here. To live it. To live my passion for life and hopefully transfer that passion to everyone around me.

PHILOSOPHY

Have fun, be yourself and never take life too seriously...
