What do you like to do when you’re not working? I love spending time with my kids and wife building memories together. We really enjoy the outdoors so, depending on weather and seasons, we go hiking one of the local peaks (Mt Cheam was a total highlight last year), bike riding along the Fraser river, camping or skiing.

Favourite thing about my job: I love seeing the 'before & after's' - super cool to see how we can help a company improve and better their business results.
What has travelling taught me? It's taught me respect for other cultures and empathy for people. The best thing - it's introduced me to so many amazing people that I still keep in touch with. Some people, that I met 14 years ago in Portugal, I still catch up with in London every time I'm there!
What kinds of things really make me laugh? My niece and nephews make me laugh most often with what they do and say. On the rare occasion that my brothers start to giggle (I mean that is really rare), then I laugh long and hard! I love my family :).

Why do you enjoy rock climbing? Rock climbing is great because it is both a mental and physical challenge. It helps to stay fit while forcing you to problem solve, plan routes, moves, and maneuvers.
If you had to have a pet: dog or cat? Dog, no question. Dogs offer great companionship and, throughout history, have proven to be a great support to human beings in general. Whether they are herding sheep or helping us to hunt, they are extremely useful and offer utilitarian value. But even if they aren't used for these things, they are awesome to just play with in a park. I can't say that about cats.

Favourite thing about your job: Writing and getting to learn new things every day.

I’m also extremely curious by nature, so I love the fact that there’s always something new to learn in the vast world of digital marketing.
If you could have any superpower, what would you choose? It’s a toss up between teleportation and the ability to time travel. Being able to teleport would mean being able to travel and see the world without spending a dime. But, on the other hand, having the ability to time travel would mean being able to read a thousand lifetimes of books, and I don’t know if anything in the world could be better than that.
What do you love about living in the Fraser Valley: Living in a place where you have the best of both urban and nature is amazing. There is always something to do, whether it’s going for a hike to explore the woods or seeing the latest movies with friends. Life is never really boring. Plus, I’ve always been a bit of a pluviophile, so it doesn’t get any better than living on the edge of a rainforest.

That learning stems from the incredible team at FirstPage and their willingness to invest in people development. The support and encouragement that I feel when I’m at work is unparalleled.
What drives you about long distance running? It allows me to see how far I can push myself both physically and mentally. Long distance running has taught me a lot about my stamina and perseverance. The only person I am competing against is myself and I like that.
As you have previously owned both a dog and a cat, what other animal would you own? A Grizzly Bear (hear me out).It would have to be one of those unique situations where it was a rescued cub that was incapable of surviving in the wild. Assuming that I had a big enough property and enough time to properly raise it, I would do it in a heartbeat. Believe it or not, there are people out there that have Grizzly Bears. It’s a bit of a stretch, but one can dream.

Getting to help people customize plans that work for them and seeing their satisfaction with our work is incredibly rewarding, and I also get to write and learn daily. It really is the best of all possible worlds.
What do you like to do when you aren't working? I absolutely love the wonderful world of outside. I also love my wife, daughter, and dog, and I like to take them on as many exploratory adventures as possible and find new trails, roads, and viewpoints wherever we go. I am a voracious reader and enjoy film, so even my lazy days tend to fill up pretty quickly with fun stuff.
What is your favourite food? I am a big fan of spicy food, but I am also a total wuss. It truly is a curse. My go-to cuisines are southern-style barbecue, Cajun, and Mexican.

What is your favourite pastime? I love the fiber arts. There is nothing better than curling up on the couch with a new crochet or knitting project - and a hot cup of tea – while watching a gripping true crime documentary.
What’s your favourite thing to cook? I love to make fresh pasta! It’s much simpler than most people think, and the result is always infinitely better than anything that can be purchased from the store.
