Growing up in London, Ontario, from an absurdly-athletic family of ten, I fell in love with sports from an early age; Soccer being my happy place. Had it been a Wilson soccer ball, it would have looked like a 'Cast Away' Disney remake (I had human friends, too).

Major plot twist - I haven't lost the ball. A teenagehood full of both memorable adventures and not-so-memorable life lessons led me to a Business Marketing degree from Carleton University, where I was fortunate enough to play soccer for the Ravens for all five years.

What was once simply a city that offered cheaper Leafs tickets (hold judgment, please), I now call Ottawa home. If I'm not hangin' with my wonderful work pals at LRO, I'm most definitely collecting yellows on the pitch or enjoying a patio pint with friends.
