I have a very rich, full and balanced life outside of the film and acting community.  Below are some of my many favorite pastimes and hobbies.

One of my biggest passions in life is playing and watching the great game of golf.  I used watch the Golf Channel all the time, to glean playing tips and lessons, as well as all the latest golf news until they moved it to digital cable.  I am going to be investing in a digital cable box soon so that I can continue to get my golf fix.  My other favorite site for news, statistics and the latest information is the PGA Tour website.  It has all the scores and the highlights of all the big tournaments.

And yes, I am a big Tiger Woods fan, as well as a big Mike Weir fan.  And Mike Weir plays left-handed, just like me.  When I play regularly I am about a 15 handicap.

I have been practicing Bikram Yoga at the yoga studio on 12th and Cambie since March 2004.  It works.  I usually go between 3 to 5 classes a week.  And in the time I've been doing hot yoga  I've slimmed down, my body processes have been working better and my core temperature has increased.  I have more energy, I have a clearer mind and I am able to focus better, plus I am so much more flexible than ever before in my life.

I also have a lifetime membership at Fitness World, where periodically I go to do some weight training and cardio.  I think it's important to maintain a healthy body, because I think that it contributes to having a healthy mind.

Speaking of a healthy mind, I take workshops on a regular basis to balance out my life and career.  Some of these workshops are directly related to the film industry, while others are just for mental and emotional health reasons.

A select list of the workshops and groups I have been involved with includes Peak Potentials, the Barbara Deutsch workshop, and the Performer's Mastery.  I find that taking the time to nurture my soul and inner being contributes to me being more authentic in rendering my craft as an actor.

One of my greatest sources of inspiration is from books.  Since there are too many to mention in this small space, you can look at my ongoing list here.
