About Me

CURRENT MISSION

TCB (Taking Care of Business) LLLL (Live Large Love Life)

ABOUT ME

I grew up in the city of Halifax and on the coastline of Nova Scotia with roots on the Southern most tip – a unique fishing village called Clark’s Harbour on Cape Sable Island.
I now live about a 20 minute drive from downtown – in rural Bedford. Love it.

I am 43 and happily married. Wife is Malgorzata “Maggie” - from Poland. She’s the best thing that ever happened to me and my best friend... everyone say's "I won the lottery"

We have a little guy 8. My daughter is 19. My Father passed away in 2002 while Mom is THE best... "Gammie" to 6 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren.

I have two older brothers. Ones is 53 and the other 59 that live close to us here in Bedford.

I love adventure... always up for one...

PHILOSOPHY

live large love life... "Every morning you are handed 24 golden hours. They are one of the few things in this world that you get free of charge. If you had all the money in the world, you couldn't buy an extra hour. What will you do with this priceless treasure?

Music, Movies, and Books

The 4 hour work week, hence i am here... since Tim Ferris makes mention in his book.

I read a little, enjoy movies and for the most part do my best to have the finger on the global pulse. Something is alway alloted to my spare time in the run of a week.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Canadian rocky mountains a bunch of times. Surfed and explored costa rica. Many times down the eastern seaboard AND surfed the west coast too. A ton of "business travel" throughout Europe, Asia and North America.

I have stayed in 5 star hotels to three star to park benches, tents and a plethora of couches. (:

Teach, Learn, Share

Meet my family. Max is 6 and amazing. Jayda is 17 but abroad.

If it can work we will show you some Maritime hospitality.

Perhaps "the lower deck for some ales and great music, a taste of lobster for sure, the world famous "Peggy's Cove" is a must and a few other hospitalities that we might have up our sleeves.

IE: "The Shore Tour" from Halifax to Halls Harbor...
