So I got suckered again to take part in the upcoming Raid de la Gaspésie by my brother. Or maybe I’m just a sucker for punishment? It’s funny, I was mentioning the race to a friend who quipped… Read More
I’m not sure how this brand got into my life to be honest. I can almost guarantee it was through the web and/or social media though. After the brand caught my eye (looking good Vice!), I started doing… Read More

I learn a lot by doing. And watching. And thinking. And feeling. We all learn slightly different as I’ve learned over the years. All my experience teaching has changed the way I teach and the way I learn…. Read More
It’s funny how priorities change… A few years back during my Ironman days I would rarely skip a workout. Now it happens from time to time, probably more than I would like to admit. A lot has to… Read More
Some of you might know of another duty I recently added to my already busy schedule: Special contributor to the Capital Connection segment on What She Said Radio on SiriusXM. It’s a great opportunity to showcase what Ottawa has to offer, especially… Read More
