Run until the next one. Recent work for @ourpathtoplay x @runready.io and their community first trail event. Folks got to test out some @acg swag and eat some treats after a 3, 5 or 7km loop! It’s always a pleasure to be part of events like this that get people moving in the great outdoors 🤙🏼 Shout out to Dawn for showing us how donuts should be consumed.

Finally got up to Joffre after many years of watching this zone from the sidelines. A hell of a day considering I thought we might not find anything good to ski. The kicker was us not expecting to go mid-way via boot pack. Thanks to J-Mount for leading the climb as we faffed our way up the steeps. And John for pivoting when he was lead to believe we were skiing Whis, lol. Heck of a day with the fellas, and not bad for my first tour of the season!

After all these years the folks at Arc’teryx heard my prayers and finally released a mountain biking kit! The all new Rhoam kit will be great for Spring riding. And I couldn’t feel more aligned as I head into my 6th year as an @arcteryxbc Metrotown ambassador. I’m always grateful for the store’s support after all these years, thank-you. I’m pumped to be riding in this gear for the season—catch you on the trails! 📸 @myopong

Back in my day…I used to skateboard around the mean streets of Grande Prairie. Filming two stair sets, random waxed up curbs and having the odd run-in with security guards. The creativity was flowing and it was fun making short video edits from the footage we got. So meeting up with @weiyungwu for a skate session brought back a little bit of those memories. And helped bring back some of that creative innocence that got me started in the first place. 🤙🏼 Thanks for coming out dude!

Heading north to Chiang Mai and starting our Thailand trip here was a wise move. Temps during this time of year (Jan) are cooler so it’s a good way to ease into the Thai heat! You can find a whopping 300 temples that overlook the old city. And within the gates you’ll find a blend of food markets, artistic spaces, modern coffee shops and bustling streets. But the city doesn’t feel that big, and it’s easy to hop on a scooter and leave for more serene spaces. We visited many temples, one was dug into the side of a hill while others stood atop mountains. CM had a great ratio of both urban chaos and peace within nature.

Hong Kong, I remember as a teenager I’d hear about classmates visiting this city and thinking how foreign that was. My only familiarity of it came through movies like Rush Hour 2, and more recently in the show Expats. The HK skyline is honestly the most striking I’ve ever seen, a wall of illuminated buildings that ignite massive light displays which dances out of the harbour with Victoria Peak standing behind it. From riding the ding-dings (street cars) through Central, to climbing the steep staircases that weave neighbourhoods together. What struck me most is how effortlessly the city blends old and new: temples tucked between buildings, infamous food stalls in the shadow of luxury malls. And somehow, nature is never far. Within minutes you can trade the density for hiking trails, ocean, and lush green hills. Hong Kong feels grand, cinematic, and electric.

As always, a post like this isn’t asking for pity, I’m just here to share and honour, forever and always. How can it be four years now? Why are we here now? Is this real? I’m always asking myself these questions when I think about dad. I still sit with a lot of shock and anger that he’s not here anymore. We still cry often when thinking of dad, but we also laugh when thinking about the happy times too. I so badly miss his voice, I replay how it would sound so I don’t ever forget, I wish I would have recorded him just talking. I wish I could have been more brave when he was sick. I wish I came home sooner and stayed longer. I wish we could have one more conversation, damn, just one more chat. And if we could, I’d say, how much everyone misses you, how grateful people are for all the help you gave them, how often we hold memories of you. That we hope you found peace, and as always, how much we love you. ♥️

Sep 21st, 2025 Because of you! We had one big-hearted weekend with a lot of our most thoughtful family and friends. We wish we had more room…we wish we had more time with you all, and we wish we could have kept on partying + more tequila shots. Proof that the best moments happen when the right people show up. Thank you all for helping make this day our brightest in 2025!

Feeling grateful for another year spent with Arc’teryx BC and Arc’teryx Metrotown! (Tried to tag everyone but it won’t let me!?) It’s been another rad year shooting content and attending events for a company and product that I truly believe in. I’ve been given a lot of opportunities with these folks, especially @jenhidao who trusted me with plenty of projects, thank you. And the Metrotown team who always have my back! Thank you for always including me. And to my fellow ambassadors who gave me space to collaborate and create. I’m pumped to shoot more with ya’ll, regardless of where 2026 takes us! Feeling very fortunate to have all these moments captured on camera, it’s fun to look back on! Thank YOU! @arcteryxbc
