17. Why Studio Y

19. I was born…
• just around the time the Berlin Wall fell, the
Gulf War 1 started, Nirvana and MC Hammer
got big, and the internet was about to hit
in
• Markham ON – Planet Earth – the home of
Pacific Mall, where condos are replacing farm
fields fast, where baseball leagues still rule

20. Some guiding principles
•
•
•
•
•
Live simply so others can simply live
Be kind wherever possible
Speak from the heart
Speak truth to power
Pursue your dreams, but don’t get caught up
in them
• The world is not flat, static or stale… it is wildly
vibrant and beautiful
