THE FUN STUFF
What’s your favourite sports team?
Canucks fan until I die.
What’s your favourite hobby?
Nothing like getting up on Sunday morning, turning on Redzone and watching your Fantasy team absolutely CRUSH it.
What is one thing you always do when exploring a new destination?
A walking tour is a must for me, nothing captures more heritage and culture about a city then walking through its streets and learning about its history and background.
If you could only eat one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be?
A steaming hot bowl of Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup, something about it just brings me back home.
Are you more productive in the mornings, afternoons or evenings? Why?
Right after that morning cup of coffee, carpe diem.
