Biography

I was born in Toronto Ontario, Canada and moved to London, Ontario, when I was 4 years old. Growing up in a community that at the time was not as racially diverse as it is now was enlightening, and interesting. This knowledge as well as other encounters lead me on a quest to build racial and cultural bridges that seeks to foster understanding.

"My desire is to grow spiritually, relationally, socially and intellectually while at the same time treating people respectfully, compassionately and humanely.

I have come to discover that all of us come to the earth as a gift and with a gift......the question I have is did you unwrap yours yet?
