Briefly:

Francis's passion for life led to a diverse and flavourful life course - from cello-playing to DJ'ing raves; from treeplanting to sound designing before landing in Vancouver in 2005, carrying a diploma in electronics under one arm, and one in massage therapy under the other.

He can be spotted in the wild found alternately galloping across wet Ultimate disc fields, devouring delicious art in galleries, or caring for his household plants. Always seeking a balance in life Francis soaks up new music, literature and film .

He is an advocate of free, open-source software, thinks that Drupal is really cool, that jquery is quite fun, and that pens and paper are very useful and he's really digging wasabi cashews!
