Well, I've lived in Winnipeg for awhile now and I am the "computer guru" where I work at AMC. I also run my own multimedia company called Quill Interactive where I make websites, movies-films-documentaries for film festivals, music videos, 3d animations, etc. Plus have a side hobby as a songwriter and I've been featured on NCI and APTN. Yep, I've even been to Hollywood several times now. And I love taking photographs and running them through my Photoshop.
I am the father of 2 beautiful, wonderful, happy children. My son Branden is 13 years old & my daughter Amy, now officially 6 years old. They are the best thing to happen to me in my life because they taught me all about unconditional love.
The things I want to teach my children - Life is an adventure. You only get one chance to live your life. Myself, I absolutely love the adrenaline rush of bungee-jumping, sky-diving, surfing in the ocean, petting sharks, racing my car down a mountain against other suped-up cars, winning, snowboarding, skiing, water-skiing, horseback riding (really fast), whitewater rafting, cliff-diving and all that good stuff.
Although Amy scares me cuz she is so reckless, so fearless, so confident, so cocky and arrogant...reminds of someone but I can't remember who. My son is addicted to rollercoasters, and she'll follow her brother on all the craziest rides. She even rode Space Mountain - TWICE! But she scares me when she's standing on the edge of the Grand Canyon, cuz just like her dad, she just wants the best view.
We just got back from Disneyland in California. That was their wish, but on one condition...that we drive down there. They only wished to see everything that their daddy saw. So we drove down there in my mustang (soon to be my son's) and they saw everything that I've seen including Vegas, Colorado Rockies, Los Angeles, even spent my birthday in San Francisco (my fave city in the world) and went looking for bigfoot (only saw a black bear).
They're gone home now...to spend the rest of the year talking about what they've seen.
