Personal
Household Engineer (i.e. the "Manny")
Department of food services. Check. Department of hygiene. Check. Department of transportation. Check. Department of clean clothing. Check. Department of justice. Check. I am in charge of it all. And loving it! Without a doubt it is a complete privilege to be able to nurture, support, and cheer our two young boys as they grow their minds, bodies, and spirits each and every day. I remain in awe of my partner's professional accomplishments (the CEO and Treasurer of the family too) but would not trade her a single day - for now!
Extra-Curriculars
Our schedule is a whirlwind of activity and a masterclass in precision planning, food coordination, and efficient driving. Between COVID-adjusted basketball, soccer, volleyball, martial arts, tennis, badminton, debate, air cadets league, swimming, camp, maybe just a bit of homework, etc. Something's gotta give... Guess what, it's Netflix (but just a bit, I can still binge with the best :)). I give a shout out to Uber as my co-pilot and to my parents who are just a call away. Side gigs? I am the Co-founder of the Leaside Innovation Centre, I write the business column for Leaside Life, serve as a Director of the Leaside Business Park Association and Leaside Memorial Community Gardens.
What's For Dinner?
I'm not a good creative cook (i.e. a little of this and a little of that) but can cook good if I have a recipe to work from. At that point I love to cook just about anything. Japanese, Chinese, French, Italian, Mediterranean, Korean, Thai, Indian, Middle Eastern... And we've got a wide array of equipment and gadgets that would make most home cooks very happy (sous vide, big green egg, instapot, convection, steam baskets, le creuset dutch oven, cast iron, immersion blenders, mandolins, thermapens, surface thermometers, chef alarms, etc, etc). When the boys and girls are away then "daddy" gets to play!
