Born and raised in Vancouver, B.C. , Canada and during the summers I work as a forest firefighter based just on the outskirts of town, and I have the winters to myself so I'm trying to get out and travel as much as I can.
My hobbies are essentially music (mostly listening, trying to learn the bass), reading, and TV watching when I'm feeling lazy -- when I'm not I'm big into hiking, running, sports, and anything outdoors. For 8 years I was involved in the sport of rowing: As a coxswain for 2, rower for 3, and coach for 3.
