Paths & Partnerships
Each path leaves a trace — the roles I’ve taken on, the stories I’ve helped shape, and the places that once called me forward. The journey unfolds with projects, causes, and creative pursuits that currently shape my days and challenge me to grow. The most meaningful paths are rarely walked alone. My story has been blessed with collaborators, communities, and kindred spirits who’ve shared in the journey.
For some, especially not-for-profit organizations, I like to donate my time to help good causes within the community. Volunteerism is a passion of mine and the most valuable tool I have in my recovery journey.
For local businesses and events, I love to support and shine light on all of the great things they do. I am happy to discuss ways to make that happen in mutually beneficial way. Sometimes that means I attend and bring my friends, sometimes that means I share the news. Reach out today and let’s chat about collaborations.

Sherwood Heights Community League
During the darkest parts of the pandemic the world seemed divided. Concerned about our community a few of “us neighbours” got together virtually and began hosting fun outdoor and virtual competitions sponsored by local companies. It was our way of trying to showcase the positivity still happening in the place we called home and an attempt to help support local companies, organizations, and families.
We are now a full-blown not-for-profit that hosts large family events and does amazing things for all of Strathcona County. I couldn’t be more proud.

Midnight Mysteries Podcast
It’s strange where curiosity can lead you. What began as a quiet fascination with the unknown turned into years of late-night investigations, haunted objects, and countless conversations with those who’ve seen more than they can explain. Over time, I found myself not just chasing stories — but becoming a part of them. Midnight Mysteries invited me on to share some of that journey: the work, the wonder, and the lingering questions I still carry with me.

Strathcona County Museum & Archives
After decades of chasing shadows in the dark I have been given the opportunity to become the resident paranormal expert for STRATHMA, located in Sherwood Park, Alberta. With it’s long history of spooky activity, I am now able to escort teams of paranormal enthusiasts and investigators into the darkest corners of what was the original RCMP Station and first community fire hall.

Neighbourhood Hoarding Solutions Inc.
My newest venture. After becoming disabled due to chronic illness I’ve been doing my best to continue seeking purpose and education. Because of my previous experience helping people suffering from addictions, grief, and hoarding disorder I wish to bring the same level of compassion, care, and attention to a world of people that can truly use it. Together, with my neighbours, we have started a company dedicated to helping those that suffer from severe clutter and hoarding behaviors as well as their families. We can get to the bottom of it together and I am at your disposal.
