I'm the newest member of the Heartland team and look forward to all the exciting challenges that lay ahead. I really enjoy meeting new people from around the world and feel lucky to have a job that allows me to do that on a daily basis.

I have a passion for travel and have had a chance to live and work for an extended period in Australia and New Zealand in addition to visiting many countries in Western Europe and Asia. Next up on the list is South America with a goal to visit Machu Piccu in Peru. Africa is a close second.

 I try to maintain a dynamic lifestyle and play many sports including ice hockey, soccer, golf and ultimate frisbee. When I'm not playing sports you can usually find me enjoying the arts and culture in Winnipeg whether its watching live bands, taking in a new exhibit at the art gallery, attending one of our many festivals or sampling some of the wonderful ethnic foods our city has to offer.

Finally, I'm lucky enough to have a family cabin on a lake just a few hours outside the city in Ontario where I spend many weekends in the spring, summer and fall. There is nothing more Canadian than enjoying the sights and sounds of the outdoors with friends and family.
