This is me:

Grew up in New Brunswick, and I'm a proud Acadian.

Moved to western Canada for the love of mountains.

Settled in Golden, BC, the hub of Canada's most majestic National Parks.

Love exploring the self and exploring consciousness.

Father x2, husband, caretaker.

I do DevOps, a culture, a thing nobody knows, but I like it ;)

I might have my own startup one day, but I might not.

All in all, I like people, different people.

I have ADHD, so naturally, I get bored easily; this is what has propelled my career and my love of creating helpful products with technology.
