I have been living & working in the Toronto area for more than 15 years. As a good ol' Ontario boy, I've loved, and at times, been frustrated with this place - but one thing is for certain... It's always been my duty to do my best by the people, businesses, and environment of this vast province.
ironically, this was shot in st. peters, nova scotia
I mean, I do much more than design. I'm a husband, a dog-Dad, ambient music artist, writer, runner, camper, kayaker, and I dabble in woodwork, gardening, and perfecting my pour over coffee each morning.
