I value depth over speed—drawn to long conversations, sincerity, and the slow unfolding of character. Life is complex; I appreciate authenticity, honesty, and curiosity. I live simply, but new ideas and perspectives keep things vibrant. Introverted and reflective, I still seek experiences that challenge me, like early morning summer trail runs with my dogs. I’m into meditation, politics, philosophy, and art’s ability to express complex ideas. Vancouver Island shaped me; Calgary is home for now. I’m a social researcher, and am looking for a thoughtful, witty mind to connect with.
