My wife, Marissa, and I have been busy with our first child who arrived in August 2021. Natalie Stella Forrest arrived late on a Friday about 30 minutes after we got to the hospital. It was a bit of an exciting start, and she has been a ball of energy since. We have loved watching her grow, and look forward to when we can start travelling more again to show her the world.

Academy
One of the greatest lessons that I have learned through the pandemic has been to slow down and appreciate and make the best of every micro-element of this one life that we all have. 2020, and frankly, Q1 of 2021 has had it's challenges mentally, emotionally, and spiritually for so many, but I do believe we can hold onto and count the blessings and focus on spreading the moments of light in such a dim period. Please stay healthy, stay safe and I can't wait to continue to inspire, lead and help our school(s) in any way possible as some of my greatest memories and growth was done at Rundle.

What did 2020 teach me? To never let anything (even a pandemic), stop you from living your life, and reaching your goals. Like so many, our 2020 didn't go as we had planned it. Specifically, we had a lot of travel plans. After working from home in our one-bedroom apartment for three months in Mount Royal, my partner and I decided we were in a position to become first-time homeowners. Shortly after our July possession, we decided we were in a position to become puppy owners. Shortly after getting our first Frenchie in September, we decided we had better get another. Shortly after this, my partner Cameron decided it was time that we should commit ourselves to one another. Cam and I got engaged in October 2020, and are planning June 2022 nuptials. With so many of life's milestones happening in such a short time, we were saddened that we were unable to celebrate our joy with friends and family. We are hopeful that we will be surrounded by friends and family in June 2022.
