About Me

I grew up a little all over North America. Lived in Toronto, Washington D.C., Calgary, Ottawa, Montreal, Kingston, Fredericton, Belleville. My family moved a lot for work, and now I do too. It's an addiction.

I went to French Lycée schools most of my childhood. I can still speak with a French accent if I force it, but I'm pretty much Québequois now.

I love motorcycles, specifically my Ducati that spends as much time broken as it does running. I used to play competitive ice hockey, but now I play for beer and fun in a men's league (way more fun). When I'm feeling lazy, I crush books (mostly fiction) at a furious rate.

I've travelled throughout the US and Canada, Central America, a bit of Western Europe, and all over East and South-East Asia, plus Australia.

I work as an air traffic controller. Just ask, but no I'm not the guy with the glowing batons.

PHILOSOPHY

Try anything once. If you're worried that you can't accomplish something, you should definitely do it. Throw yourself in and figure it out once you're there. You'll probably do just fine, and you'll never regret doing it.
