Your Bio

finally got a trip out west to check out some norther BC ski country. This is a backcountry destination near Smithers that starts with a 10kkm tow-in by sled before putting the skins on. Bluebird day with good stability made for a great day.

This was my first trip to Japan : My first job for Cirque du Soleil is in Japan working as a fly-in rigger for the transfer of Corteo from Osaka to Tokyo. Pretty exciting to go to Japan for the first time. The culture and sheer masses of humanity can be a bit overwhelming, not to mention the adventures in eating stuff that bears no resemblance to food at home. Good times!

my new house is here : I originally went out to look at a small two bedroom house that wasn't on the market yet, I looked at one across the road for way more money mostly by chance and ended up buying it. Slowly but surely it's starting to take on some new personality. One day I'll get around to some new paint too
