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.
