My 411
Interested in telecommunications and electronics at an early age, I obtained my amateur radio operator’s certificate at 15 years of age and went on to pursue a career in telecommunications.
In my spare time, I enjoy many outdoor activities such as running from 10k to marathon races, road cycling, mountain hiking, skiing and snowshoeing. When I prefer staying indoors, my web site programming keeps my quite busy.
Running
I started running in spring of 2002 after having spent the previous year commuting to work on my bicycle everyday. With little guidance and lots of hard work and research, I completed my first half-marathon in October 2002. I ran my first marathon in Vancouver in May 2003 and haven’t looked back since.

Road Cycling
I’ve always enjoyed cycling. During the summer months, I log hundreds of kilometers enjoying the beautiful Alberta landscapes and country roads. Sometimes, I like to take a day off and scoot over to Bragg Creek for a coffee or head down to Forget-Me-Not Pond at the end of highway 66.
Triathlon
A few years ago I combined both activities and participated in my first olympic duathlon. Triathlons quickly followed. Since then I’ve completed many triathlons up to Olympic distance events. Since 2010, I been representing the Alberta Triathlon Association as Technical Delegate at various races across the province.
