An obvious interest of mine. I've been using computers since I can remember, so I'm quite adept in almost every aspect of them, from hardware (building and repairing) to software (programming, and running). I also tutor Web programing and basic computer use.

Currently I'm taking classes in Kung-fu and the use of the katana and bo-staff. Previously I was in some Jui-Jitsu classes and certainly plan to try other martial arts. I think that once I have tried a little of each, I'll be able to make a well informed decision as to which I would like to study in more depth.

I am very interested in the Samurai and their way of life, the Shaolin monks, and Buddhism etc. Theres a certain romanticism in it all. I find great confidence in knowing I can defend myself and/or protect others if the situation arises. Of course, I just think it's pretty cool too :-)

I just love history, including everything from ancient Egypt to the Age of Chivalry.

I don't really draw all that well, but I do like to create artwork using a computer, rendering scenes from my imagination or from movies etc. I post most of what I make on my gallery section of this site. I also have quite an interest in paintings and other works of art by artists such as Van Gogh and M.C. Escher.

I am a HUGE science fiction fan, primarily "Star Trek", but almost any of it. I believe there has to be other civilizations out there, and there is SO much more to the universe that we can't even begin to comprehend. Sci-Fi just gives me a chance to wonder "what if...".

I was always "the computer guy" be it in public school, high school, or college. I was voted "Computer Genius" at a little awards/recognition assembly in grade 12. Many of the teachers came to me for help with their computers. I also did a lot of volunteer work repairing and maintaining some of the school's networks and workstation setups.

I do not exactly fit very many definitions of "normal"... especially compared to where I live. I like think of myself as a chivalrous person (characterized by consideration and courtesy), I don't drink too often and I certainly don't smoke. I tend to like the "professional business man" type of persona. Of course, in the end I just enjoy having a good time and being around friends.

I am one of those kinds of people who loves to ask questions about life. I don't have any particular religious beliefs, allowing me to consider and envision an endless array of possibilities. I often come up with so-called "crazy" or "unbelievable" theories of life that many people can't wrap their heads around.

History absolutely intrigues me... everything from ancient Babylonia, Rome, and Egypt, to the Middle Ages, chivalry, and even the more recent stuff like Hitler's rise and fall. Most of my love for history came from TV shows like "Highlander".
