Life unfolds all the time. What I value the most are family, friends, and community.

I have a lovely home in Courtenay and commute to Vancouver when I am working and where I stay on my sailboat.  It is the best of both worlds. I moved to Comox Valley to spend as much time in the outdoors and dive into my creative projects. 

I am an unusual mix of right brain and left the brain and pretty much unstoppable when I have a goal. I began taking photographs and writing plays, which became films, at a very early age and have never looked back. When I went to University, I was torn between business, athletics, theology, and art.  Art won.  Yet, to make good stories, you have to be fit, know some commerce and have your soul in tact.  It all comes together.

In case you are wondering, I am in my mid-50's, very outdoorsy, with grown children who I love dearly, widowed, always curious, and I have a passion for life, in all that it encompasses.
