ABOUT ME

The few pictures I have posted here will probably describe me better than my words can:) I like the outdoors and all things active, and this is why Vancouver is the place I have called home since 2001. It's an amazing city, where I feel great every time I go out for a walk, not to mention all the natural beauty that surrounds it. I travel quite a lot for business and sometimes for pleasure, but whenever I'm in town I'd be happy to be your host for a few days and, time permitting, show you some of the places I like or at least offer some advice. Cheers!

PHILOSOPHY

The longer I live the more I'm inclined to think that life is best lived one year at a time :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I think I could share some thoughts on health and fitness. I do not have any formal academic knowledge in this area. Rather my knowledge is based on a lot of informal studies, their practical application, personal statistics accumulated over a number of years, and the results that I'm quite pleased with.
