I was born in Alberta and grew up in the countryside, in the company of farm animals and wildlife. During most of my youth I was homeschooled, something I think very well of. I completed undergraduate degrees in music and psychology before moving to Ontario to pursue a PhD. There I got married, received my doctorate in psychology and neuroscience, and had kids before moving back to Alberta. Now I work in the environmental industry, trade crypto on the side, work on programming, and spend time with my family. I like to spend my free time in the mountains.
