PERSONAL:

Everyone has a weakness and mine is classic cars. I have a 1968 Mustang that I have restored. Here are some pictures from when I drove it across the country – 3 times!

In general I am the kind of guy who is always on the move. My other hobbies include bicycle camping and jogging. My latest biking adventures include 3 weeks cycling around the Greek Islands, a 700 km ride of the northern peninsula of Newfoundland, and a 1500 km ride of the maritimes.
