ABOUT ME

25 year old recent university graduate, born and raised on a small peach farm in southern Ontario.
Interested in English literature, philosophy, history, political science, art, independent film and music. Have a serious passion for snowboarding. I've competed in amateur snowboarding and mountain biking competitions.
I have studied Child and Youth Work at Centennial College concurrently working with underprivileged youth in a residential treatment facility.
I have also worked as a Stone Mason working on a historical restoration project in the historic Niagara region of Queenston Heights (known for the sight of the War of 1812).

Currently living in Kongsberg, Norway.

PHILOSOPHY

Live within the mean. Live in Aristotle's state of Eudaimonia.
