Favourite thing about your job:

For me it is all about people. I love having the opportunity to work with a very fun and talented team knowing that, together, we help clients market their businesses better. I enjoy developing strong relationships with our clients, finding creative solutions to challenges and seeing results.

What is your favourite restaurant?

Locally, Katana in Langley is definitely one of my favourites. I enjoy the ambience, food and show when the Teppan-yaki is going on in front of you.

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 your 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 you?

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 you 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.

Favourite thing about your job:

For most of my life, I knew that I wanted to be a writer, but I also really enjoy spending time with people and learning new things. That meant that, most of the time, my education and hobbies were pretty disjointed from my professional experience; however, this job allows me to get to know people from all kinds of backgrounds and I’m constantly learning about new industries, which really appeals to me. 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.

Favourite thing about your job:

What I love most about my job is that I am able to do many different things that contribute to one goal. Social media, content creation, front end development; each one of these tasks is unique, which brings diversity to my job, but also allows me to strive for the same goal of helping the client’s business grow.

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.

What do you love about photography?

My photography gives me the opportunity to share with those how I see the world, and become part of my outdoor adventures through my eyes.

Are you a night hawk or an early bird?

I am an early bird. I prefer to start my day by taking life by the horns, rather than play catchup late at night.

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.

What is your favourite place to go on vacation?

Every couple of years, I travel to California to visit family, but my favourite part of the journey is driving down the Oregon coast. I love the beauty of the ocean and the calm mindfulness that it brings.
