A poutine, June 2016. Cheers to Canada after my first full decade as a Canadian citizen.

I moved from Alaska to Vancouver in 2001 (for arch school at ubc). Followed that with a student work permit, nafta work permit, PR, and then citizenship.

I worked as a sole practitioner after grad school in 2005, then started my design/build company in 2009. We employ ~15 people designing and building infill eco-homes, mostly in and around Vancouver.

This year also crossed the halfway point (living in Canada half my life). Other places I’ve lived: Melbourne Aus, Anchorage AK, Loomis CA, and Ubud Bali.

Appreciate all the Canada love here on Bsky.

Happy Canada Day! We ate some ketchup flavoured chips to celebrate.
