The desire to never stop learning and to accept challenges is something he and his spouse Christina hope their two children will continue to embrace. The family takes every opportunity to get out and explore Canada's great outdoors every season. A good weekend involves any combination of cross-country skis, skates, a paddle, a rod and a song.
