 Day 1 - Locarno to Cevio (28 km)
 Day 2 - Luzern to Sursee (32 km)

Hi, I was born on March 14 1983 in Calgary Alberta. Since this is a bio that is to be posted on a sport-team website, sport will be the focus. I began playing sports at a young age, and my first participation in organized sport was as a member of a Tee-Ball team. I'm not sure whether it was to my ineptness for the sport or simply my parents impatience watching nine other five year-olds trying (usually in vain) to hit a sphere perched atop a cylinder, with another cylinder (Tee-Ball is a strange sport), but my participation ended after only one season.

After my season in Tee-Ball a four year hiatus followed. At the age of nine I was registered onto a hockey team in my community and I fell in love (with hockey). Every winter I played hockey, and in the summertime I played any sport that peaked my interest.

Football, Baseball and Tennis were my favorites. It was through my love for Tennis that I was able to get to know Suzanne. We played Tennis together often and became friends.

One day after Tennis, Suzanne asked me whether I would be interested in competing in an Inline-skating marathon along with a team, in Switzerland. I agreed.

What appeals to me about the Gigathon is the idea of challenging myself to achieve and have the chance to participate in an adventure with a team of friends (new and old), in a country as cool as Switzerland. Leading up to the race I have many goals, but my main goal is to finish the race.
