- When I'm not at my computer you can usually find me doing something
active or creative. I am a certified NCCP Level I rhythmic gymnastics
coach and have enjoyed sharing the sport by coaching classes for two years
at Red Deer Rhythmic Gymnastics and Chinook Rhythmique. I also like to
spend time with my toy
poodle, Trinity. (Picture courtesy of Peter Feiner.)
