TO THINK I like to understand and to learn as much as I can. Ever since I was a child, the idea of getting to the root cause of diverse ideas or events and understanding their complexities always appealed to me. Questions. I always had questions. Some answered, some neglected. Some that kept me up all night pondering life's mysteries and their purpose. I like to think. Think, think, think. About planning, about applying, about knowing. So I studied thinking at university. When I was 17, I enrolled in a Liberal Arts degree. History, philosophy, some theology, and literature were my chosen disciplines over those three years. Since, I have grown in yet more profound respect and passion for the reasoning, communication, and articulation of written and verbal thought. To seek and to understand. To ask and to discover. To reason and think critically about information before me, not just to memorize a prescribed meaning. To assess, evaluate and conclude with a broad depth of philosophical reasoning, and act on that basis, as contrasted with acting on isolated emotion and instinct.

Small Suburban Farm
As my Garden Grows Passion is what flows out of you, engulfs you, and brings out pleasure for people in the world to delight in. Passion is what makes other people believe and what to help others. Passionate is one word that describes me in everything I do. Growing and learning is a passion of mine. Growing from a seed and to produce something from it is mystifying and a wonder to people. I'm passionate about growing my own food and learning from it along the way. I have grown my garden a little more and more every year. Learning to be bold and when not to along the way in the best reward as the growing season unfolds each year.

Teach Others to Think
I am passionate about art, but many people can say they are. What makes me different is I am passionate about making people THINK about MAKING art. My students have to Think when they create and it’s frequently a hard process the first couple of times, then they learn to love learning how to think for themselves. My students literally follow me from school to school. During the summer school program, I was wondering why I had students from my old school literally 100 blocks away so I started asking them why they were there and they said “you”. They missed me pushing them, making them think. Even though I’m the art teacher I make them think harder than anyone else and they love it.

Human Resource
Why is there such a lack of industry knowledge among up and comers in the music, film and entertainment industry as a whole? There are probably a lot of reasons but frankly speaking there aren't enough tools in place for those who are trying to break into these industries even in this age of technology. Accessibility is the main point of technology in many fields of opinion but when it comes to How to create a portfolio? or How to interpret a recording contract? or even simply When and Why you may need a manager? There's few if any YouTube videos uploaded explaining these need-to-know topics.

Visualizing Innovation through Business and Education
Exploring creativity evoked a fear response for most of my life. It was too risky to explore passions or deviate from the normal expectations from a child of immigrant parents. A plan for success had been devised for me – finish my public education, pursue post-secondary education, and then enter the workforce. A pathway many cling onto without exploring their passions or what truly adds colour to their lives. A fear of failure is what motivated a lot of my actions, but once I experienced fear, repeatedly, I had to embrace that uncomfortable feeling.
