Interests
In my spare time, you’ll find me in my garden, checking out a new restaurant or brewpub, or exploring the trails and waterways of the Island. I'm a muralist (Humanity In Art) and performance artist who loves to create and entertain. I find opportunities to build and contribute to my community wherever I can. Whether I'm on a project, a non-profit board, or kilometre 75 of the West Coast Trail, I approach everything I do with unrivalled passion and drive. (But seriously, while I was solo hiking the WCT, I thought about quitting about 500 times. But despite the snapped hiking pole, a pancake-sized blister, and a raven making off with my last meal, I kept going. I’m that person: If I say I’ll do it, I will get it done.)
