About Me

I'm a pretty normal guy, or so I like to think. I enjoy keeping active, listening to music, my job, spending time with friends and even family on occasion. Sports I like include soccer, hockey, and mountain biking. I also enjoy hiking, snowshoeing and camping. I don't really like motorized sports. I'm not really into vacationing - my idea of a holiday would be to go somewhere and camp and then mountain bike, or to go on a cycling tour somewhere.I have a decent job with the BC Paraplegic Association - I get to work with some really great people and I enjoy work most days, but still look forward to the weekends.I'm a bit of a creature of habit in that I do a lot of the same things over and over (work, gym, sleep - repeat), but I'm not against mixing it up to keep things interesting.In terms of music, I mainly stick to my roots in that I listen to a lot of music from back in the UK. I've recently become interested in some bands from the Western US, though, and there are a smattering of Canadian bands I like, as well as the odd Swedish band.

My Interests

Soccer, hockey, swimming, mountain biking, music, working out, music, reffing, bbqing, hiking, camping, snowshoeing, squash - basically being active.

I'd like to meet:

Well I'm single, so I guess meeting Miss Right would be pretty good, but I don't really expect that to happen through this avenue. I'd settle for meeting some cool people from all over the world - perhaps people that share some interests with me. I don't really have any preconceptions on who I will meet, so if you feel like saying hi, I'd love to hear from you. Oh, I do think it would be cool to hear from people that I once knew, but have since fallen out of touch with.

Music:

Oasis, David Gray, the Levellers, Pink Floyd, Reef, Feeder, Charlatans UK, Stereophonics, the Killers, Franz Ferdinand, 54-40, The Tea Party, and many many more - I have an extensive cd collection.

Movies:

Television:

The Office, Soccer Report, Sportsnet Connected, The News, English Premier League Games, Canucks Hockey

Books:

I read to fall asleep at night, so nothing too scary.

Heroes:

I don't really believe in heroes, but if I had to pick one it'd be my dad. He did a lot for me growing up.
