About Me


I edited my profile with Thomas’ Myspace Editor V3.6 !
Well lets see, I grew up in Richmond Hill, On, Canada. Lots of fun memories of riding bikes, playing street hockey, games of hide and go seek that would cover a whole neighbour hood. In the summers we would spend a lot of time boating on Lake Simcoe and up the Trent-Severn Waterway........
After high school I went to Ryerson and then out to the University of Western Ontario in London. I got my degree in Engineering. I am now a project manager doing Environmental Construction projects. Its a great chance to be outdoors working with nature. Many of my projects include river or creek restoration where a degraded eroded river can be brought back to life. We use natural channel design techniques and incorporate bio-enginnering for the planting. Really lucky to be able to spend time outdoors playing in the creeks........
I have been married 13 years and have two great children. I am an assistant coach this year on my sons hockey team. Really looking forward to it. Its my first time being on the other side of the bench.
I am an easy going guy with a great sense of humour (depending on your point of view LOL). I like to start the day with a Large Tims Coffee. I love working around the house, in my garden, or in the kitchen with something cooking. Gotta love the Margarita's or a nice bottle of Aussie Red.

My Interests

I love golfing and being on the course hearing the birds, being outdoors close to nature....swatting mosquitos as I hunt for my lost ball in the woods....I really like gardening.... you should see my huge tomatoes LOL, hockey, cooking ( I am a legend in my own mind), entertaining, reading, music, computers, movies. Love Sushi and Pho. Ever have Pho?..Best soup ever.I really enjoy a nice glass of Austrailian red wine while I cook up a storm. Really love making Thai food or some amazing BBQ back ribs.....I am a Toronto Maple Leaf Fan but enjoy watching my son play even more.
