I’ve been told that my life plays out like a cartoon series, with crazy characters and questionable life choices leading to comedic outcomes. I see it a bit less exciting than that though.

I guess I’ll just lay out the basics ;

I come from an Icelandic family on my mothers side and my dads side is a bit more complicated as he was adopted but found his birth parents in his 20s and long story short I wound up selling large volumes of weed for my dads real dad in my 20s. That’s a story in of itself

I was raised by my grandparents because my parents were 15 when they had me and my dad had no intention of informing anyone he had a child at all until my mom showed up on his adopted parents doorstep with me in hand.

I grew up skateboarding everywhere and stole anything that wasn’t bolted down and I was dean good at it too. 😏

I got in a fair bit of trouble in school and was expelled from my city’s public school system.

Trouble with the law as a teen.

I did security for underground raves with questionable individuals.

I pride myself in knowing “a guy “ for any problem that may arise.

Fast forward and I am a father of two awesome kids

Was working a well paying job for 13 year but left last summer because of my disgust in the ethics of the company I was working for and their complete disregard for their employees but obsessed need for more profits.

Last year I was the president of my son’s schools parent council, I’m a sitting board member of my community league and I frequently volunteer.

I now work a job I love and completely gave up on watching tv, drinking any alcohol, trusting “ the experts” and I’ve never been happier.

I can elaborate on a lot of that but for the most part that’s a quick summary as to not bore you too much. Cheers, from Alberta
