Misc.
I compose instrumental guitar music, and have a guitar-focused YouTube channel I occasionally post to.
I have a goldendoodle named Rocky, who is currently being taken care of by my parents in Toronto, ON, while I pursue my degree in Burnaby, BC.
Video games were a huge part of my life, and I like to think I got something out of the tens of thousands of hours I spent playing them. The peak of my gaming success was when I ended at rank 7 out of 1,000,000+ North American players in the popular strategy game Teamfight Tactics.
