10.7.2004: Thanks to Kara Fry, who just contacted me telling me of an update from my good friend Jason that was posted, I figured that I would update the happenings of my life as well. So where do I begin, I am happily married and living on the beach in Kitsilano, a beautiful beach town in Vancouver, British Columbia. I love it here in Canada! I am coaching national level gymnasts with David Kenwright at Phoenix Gymnastics here in Vancouver, it is a great gym with a great bunch of girls. So no more traveling in my future, though I plan to see alot more of my new found country of Canada! My wife will be attending school to finish up another degree in the spring and is a manager at Caper's Organic Foods Market. Thanks to Kara for keeping in contact and to the rest of you, drop me a line or better yet come and visit, my wife and I would love to host all of you! I am still training and just completed Ironman Canada in August and plan to compete for Canada as a triathlete in the future. And thats all for now, I will try to update more frequently!

12.27.2001: I want to start by wishing you all a very peaceful new year. I hope everyone is healthy as they enter the 2002 year. My fiance and I will be starting our new year in Thailand where I will be working as a Willing Worker On Organic Farms. I will be in Thailand for about 3 and a half months. I will then head to West Vancouver, BC to work as a kayak guide off of Bowen Island. After the summer is over and the kayak season ends I will be treking off to Costa Rica where I will work a surf camp. And who knows what is to come after I visit Costa Rica. So there is a brief rundown of what is to come in my life. I have been engaged for a few months now and have been at peace with myself and my fiance Tierney. I plan to travel for a few years before I decide to settle down so I will keep updating my info with me experiences of the world. Please feel free to email me and I will respond. Take care and best wishes in the future.

6.6.2001: Hey everyone! Just wanted to thank everyone who has contacted me, I would also like to thank Ron for making all of this possible. I will be changing careers in two weeks to becoming the Men's Director for SCATS Gymnastics in Huntington Beach, CA. I am pretty excited to coordinate meets such as the U.S. Classic coming up as well as the 2003 World Championships. I also create all graphic design for the gym and meets that are hosted by the gym. It is great to have found a career with the sport I have had a love for throughout my life. In my spare time I like to hike, travel and surf. I have been to Cancun, British Columbia, Hawaii, and various places in Europe. I plan to backpack Europe next summer from June-August. If anybody would care to join me please let me know. Till then I hope everyone is well and promise to keep in touch.
