About Me

I was born in Markham, but raised in Richmond Hill, Ontario. I currently live with four of my family members: my mother, my father, my grandmother, and my twin brother, who is also a fourth year marketing student at York University. However, this is not the extent of my family. I have many family members that are located throughout the world, including France, Italy, Germany, and in other parts of Ontario. Family life is really important to me, as we do everything together. Throughout the good, bad, and the ugly, we have created countless memories that will last for generations.

I am very passionate about sports, as it has been a big part of my life since I was in elementary school. I mainly follow football as a Baltimore Ravens fan and hockey as a Toronto Maple Leafs fan. However, I like to stay involved in other sports as well, following the Toronto Raptors in basketball, and more recently, the Toronto Blue Jays in baseball. I actively enjoy learning about different kinds of sports, and challenge myself to broaden my knowledge on this topic. Also, I enjoy playing sports on a recreational basis as well. Actively participating in sports has taught me many important life lessons, like the importance of teamwork, and how, through hard work and dedication, you can accomplish leaps and bounds. Recently, I started to play golf and cannot wait to see where this takes me in the future.

Although I do not go as often as I want to, I enjoy fishing. I started fishing in the summer of 2017, and the rest was history. Ever since then, my father, my brother, and I have tried to go fishing at least once or twice every summer. We always go to a small lake in Bradford, Ontario, that is loaded with pike, dogfish, and many other types of smaller fish. Some of our best memories were created by the waterfront, whether it be through the fish that we caught or the fun moments that we shared. Throughout fishing, I was taught one thing: patience is a virtue. These are the exact words spoken by my dad, which have helped me catch an abundance of fish. I apply this life lesson that I have learned through fishing to many aspects of my life, in order to achieve long-term success.   

I have been playing the electric guitar for 8 years. Initially, I took music lessons for the first year, but then stopped and began to teach myself. With my electric guitar, I challenge myself to learn from many different genres of music. However, my favourite genre to learn from is rock. In particular, I enjoy playing classic rock, punk rock, and heavy metal songs on my guitar. Some of my favourites include La Bamba by Ritchie Valens and Back In Black by ACDC. Recently, I have been trying to learn Sweet Home Alabama by Lynyrd Skynyrd and Sweet Child O' Mine by Guns N' Roses. In my spare time, this is one of the activities that I generally gravitate towards, as I am able to tap into my creative side, experimenting with new techniques to help improve my performance. My favourite guitarist is Eddie Van Halen, so I emulate a lot of his techniques when I play my guitar.  

In my downtime, I am a big fan of movies. My brother and I have an extensive collection of DVD’s and Blu-ray disks, which we often use to cure our boredom. My favourite categories are comedies, actions, and thrillers, but I also enjoy movies that are based on a true story. However, my favourite movie of all time is Cars; it was one of my favourite movies when I was a kid, and I still watch it to this day. In addition to movies, I also listen to a lot of music in my downtime. I do not have any preferences when it comes to music; it all just depends on my current mood. Whether it be rock and roll, rap, or the blues, music allows me to relax after a long day. Every genre is unique and speaks to me in a different way, helping to temporarily escape the outside world and connect with my inner thoughts.
