Hey there! I'm Christian, a Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA) and believer in learning through exploration.
Welcome to my blog where I document the lessons learned throughout my career, creative pursuits, and trying to understand the ever-evolving world around us.
What This Is
I started this site in 2021 to share book reviews and reflect on the things I thought would be interesting or actionable for my friends and family.
After a brief hiatus and small pivot, it's become a place for me to reflect, share insights and connect with others on the things I find interesting - Our careers, economics, technology, and the pursuit of knowledge.
You might enjoy this blog if you're looking for a book recommendation, career lessons, or have fun speculating on the future. Ultimately, my goal is to take what I've learned, or what I'm thinking about, and package it up to provide value.
Feel free to look around or reach out to share your thoughts - I'd be excited to chat about anything here.
Thanks for visiting!
Quick Facts About Me
I graduated from the University of Victoria in 2019 with a Bachelor of Arts in Economics.
After graduating, I enrolled in the UBC Diploma in Accounting Program, where I developed my understanding of business and accounting principles.
I obtained my CPA at a Big 4 accounting firm in Vancouver, Canada, and I now work as a Senior Financial Analyst at a large electronics retailer.
I love working out, specifically powerlifting. My proudest achievement is hitting a deadlift 1-rep max of 405 lbs., roughly 3-times my body weight at the time.
I love to travel, having been to the majority of Western European countries. Some of my favourites have been the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, and Italy. Going forward, I hope to spend time exploring other continents, regions, and cultures.
My favourite part of the week is waking up early on weekend mornings to watch soccer games with my dad and my coffee.
