I have a keen interest in learning about life. I think we should live our lives as if we are the main character in our own books. In other words.. your world is yours to create!

A little history..
While growing up I lived a rather normal middleclass life in Canada, until about 16 when I started to apply my inquisitive nature to my experience. It was around then when I started to ask deeper questions, and started to really think about who I am, where I've come from, what I'd learned up till then, and what I wanted to give to the world. I began the lifelong process of taking responsibility for my own mind. This was a defining point in my life.

Flash forward several years..

I am blessed to know so many amazing souls. I find myself engaging in meaningful conversations daily, which is good because to my mind this discourse is like a nutrient to my body.

I am now, and will always be a student of life.
A True Master of any subject retains a Beginners Mind, they do not become so conceited as to close their mind to new learning.

I am an advocate of Liberty, and follow the principles of natural law.
In essence the Golden Rule; Treat others as you wish to be treated.

I believe your karmic impact can either help you accelerate your goals, or can present you with great resistance and obstacles.
"Do good!"

I study the art of learning.. the psychology of success, history (which gives context to the world. I have a focus in history often unknown to the general public), exercise and reparative work on the body, nutrition, comparative religions.. Basically if it's a field that can help a person to find balance, peace happiness, and accelerate in life - it's up my alley.

In general my focus is on big picture stuff. I like to build.
But, always enjoy a good banter.

If you follow the golden rule, I'm sure we'll get along well.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Your life is your Magnum Opus!

Teach, Learn, Share

I like grow and learn together, and especially like to philosophize. If you like to think or debate about stuff you're in luck.

As for teaching.. I've spent a lot of time studying the philosophy of success, physical wellness and nutrition. Always happy to share what I've learned.

Hopefully a few laughs!

That said.. I always like to leave a parting gift. :)
