What is your favorite piece of fitness equipment?
My heart rate monitor that counts calories… because it validates my extra glass of wine!
If you could have lunch with any famous person, living or dead, who would it be?
Mick Jagger. I always wanted to know the truth about being a rock star… that’s my second career choice.
What was your first job? And what did you learn at that job?
I had lots of small jobs like landscaping. I even cleaned and polished a dump truck once a week (for some reason it was always dirty). I learned that manual labor is satisfying but exhausting.
One of your early life accomplishments was?…
Winning the BC Championships for football in 1990! I think it was on the teams where we didn’t win a game that I learned the most though. Kids quit on things too easily and their parents let them… if things aren’t going well you should still show up and give your best! That is when you will learn some real life lessons like loyalty and teamwork… also how to lose and win gracefully.
What is the one ‘cheat’ food, or drink, that you can’t avoid?
All of them… I lack the willpower. But I have the drive to hit my bike on a regular basis and stay in shape that way. The older I get the harder just hopping on my bike becomes a solution though.
What are you known for professionally?
I think I am known for my personality… not just the good days either! Ha!
If you got off from work early Friday afternoon what would you rush to do?
If it is sunny… ride my bike! If it is the usual crappy Vancouver weather I like to online game… Sometimes blowing things up takes the edge off the day.
