    As an able-bodied person I was a high school quarterback, dedicated mountain biker, skateboarder, and a snowboarder. It sounds like I was a jock but I just liked being athletic and getting outdoors. I went to college at Emily Carr and ended up spending all hours of the night editing footage I shot, appropriated, and found. I’d make films on a Steenbeck with old footage from the NFB’s “destroy” pile or I’d take the school’s equipment and go film skate and snowboarding. The school didn’t like the idea of me heli-boarding on weekends while everyone else at school was looking for “objects” in alleys or performing art in a cage of some type. So I pushed off and moved to Whistler.
