WORK is a four letter word and if you love what you do it’s not WORK at all I LIVE and do what I do because I was given an opportunity to do what I love and that’s to LIVE…
When living pays your bills and allows you to live life fuller with the ones you love, that’s the fruit of the labor!

Over the years I’ve been known as the “Voice of Formula Drift” well you can pretty much just say “Voice of Drift” due to my traveling, MC’ing and partaking in the drift scene across the world….
DMCC is kind enough to invite me to MC a few selected rounds of DMCC, I can’t do them all due to scheduling conflicts and also some rounds are in French speaking provinces….
One of my best friends lives in Montreal so it’s cool to catch up with him, his boys and of course the food and beer….
