Interests

Apart from being a web and graphic designer and web developer, I enjoy most of my time being outdoors and being with my friends & family. In the winter, I am an avid snowboarder and love all winter activities. During the warmer months here in Ontario, I enjoy camping, swimming, and hiking.

When forced indoors, I enjoy watching movies and writing screenplays and I spend a large amount of my free time exploring the latest technology advancements in the front-end web development world and others.
