I am a River Rat with double meanings - I grew up on the St. Lawrence River so boating and swimming were things that I was doing before I even considered driving on land. The rat is also my Chinese zodiac. So my pseudonym while traveling and working abroad in Asia was #atravelingriverrat 

I enjoy rowing, working out, reading (all sorts of genres), cooking and, of course, writing.
I like to think of books,  movies, shows, music, & video games as sources of story telling. Whichever medium is used, they all are doing their best to tell their story as efficiently and effectively, as possible. 
 
Some of my favourites video games are: God of War, Final Fantasy VII (IX & X, are good too), Baldur's Gate 3, Myst (series), Satisfactory, Valheim, and The Talos Principle, & The Legend of Zelda

Some of my favourite books are: The Conan the Barbarian (series), The Last Unicorn, Beowulf, Game of Thrones, anything by Chuck Palahniuk, anything by Neil deGrasse Tyson, & Mythology (Norse & Greek & Indigenous American)

Some of my favourite music artists are: Jimmy Buffet, Weezer, Karliene, Eivor, Imelda May, John Fogerty, & Gaelic Storm
