<p><strong>Tell </strong><strong>us</strong><strong> your favourite childhood memory.</strong><br />
When I was 10. I was playing a football tournament in London at a professional teams stadium called Leyton Orient. I was the goalkeeper and I made two saves in a penalty shootout in the semi final to get my team (Northolt FC) into the championship game. I was balling my eyes in excitement. I was an emotional wreck! However, in the final I made the game winning save in another shootout to win the tournament! Again, Niagra Falls! My mom jumped onto the pitch from the stands to hug me and we both wept. It was probably the happiest moment of my life. And as a bonus, I was given a player of the tournament award!</p>

<p><strong>Where do you volunteer or give back to in the community?</strong><br />
With the university soccer team, we sacrifice our time to help out people who need it desperately. Most notably in a massive bottle drive we do every year for a child in PG who has medical bills to pay for in which their parents really suffer in doing so. Last year I believe we raised almost $5,000 to help a child in need. And to justify how large our drive was, we filled the entirety of a bus! It was amazing to do something that could help benefit someones life.</p>
<p><strong>If you could change one thing in the world what would it be?</strong><br />
No poverty and world hunger. </p>
<p><strong>Where would you sneak away to in Prince George to spend some time alone? </strong><br />
I dont sneak away anywhere. But I use my alone time at the gym. I shut myself out to anyone around me and find piece in lifting things up and putting them down!</p>
<p><strong>Where would you like to see positive change in Prince George and why? </strong><br />
Downtown, mostly around Victoria St. I work at whitespot and we have many unsavourry characters lurking about. I wish there was a way to help these people in bettering their lives rather than having the police called on them for disturbing the peace</p>
<p><strong>What do you think makes Prince George great? </strong><br />
Its uniqueness.</p>
<p><strong>What are 3 things on your bucket list?</strong><br />
Go to New Zealand<br />
Bungee jump<br />
And skydive</p>

Dealing with adversity or risk of burnout. Sometimes we just need a break to recharge our batteries and carry on killing it in whatever it is we do</p>

I would only change one thing. Drink more milk as a baby because I wish I was taller!</p>
<p><strong>What do you always find yourself saying?</strong><br />
Hey man.</p>

<p><strong>If you could spend one whole day with anyone in the world who is currently alive, who would you select?</strong><br />

<p>I believe it is important to help local businesses thrive.</p>
