Life continues to find a way for two (sometimes very) busy professionals, sixth grader, now two cats ( fare thee well, Queen Rogue😢), and a German Shepherd Dog – this page gives you a tl;dr (too long; didn’t read) of what’s going on in my life.
This page is inspired by the NowNowNow project and is intended to highlight what I’m focused on in my life right now and what the family is up to.

What’s going on at home?
Always something on the go, but we’re settling into the life of never being quite settled into life 😄 but here’s a quick low down:
- The sixth grader is targeting a a spot on the Karate Nova Scotia provincial team and a place on both the kata and kumite teams for the 2026 nationals in Edmonton. He continues training with the Halifax Ryuseikan but has added some kata training sessions with Windsor Karate Club – we live at a dojo setting at least four days a week now.
- He’s got some fundraisers going on as part of his Road to Edmonton in case you want to support.
- In addition to being an incredible Executive Director of the Restaurant Association of Nova Scotia, Tash still maintains a toe in the world of postpartum doula support, offering her time when she can with the Embrace Doula.
And at work
In summer 2025 I returned to my role as Senior Client Strategist with the Halifax Regional Municipality’s Client Strategist team, following a very successful year backfilling the Internal Communications Manager role for the team. I have some updating to do on the LinkedIn profile, and am hoping to recap some dataset development work I’ve doing with the Corporate Communications team over the last few years. Hopefully more on that during the winter months.
And some stuff just for me
A few key things I’m working on.
- Getting the workout routine on track after some time nursing a back issue.
- Doing some volunteering with Karate Nova Scotia and their stint hosting the upcoming Karate Canada Senior Nationals.
That’s it for now.
