About Us




About Adam & Kathryn

Adam & Kathryn live in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.

The two of us met on 05 September 2017 and have been together ever since. On 25 May 2018 we moved in together.

The two of us have a lot of interests in common, like sailing, biking, snowshoeing, cross county skiing and ice skating. We have a lot of fun together.

Kathryn is very talented and you will see photos here of the quilts she creates, for instance. She is also an accomplished folk singer and guitarist, although she is pretty modest about her skills. She is a retired chartered accountant, public school teacher and university teacher. Kathryn has a degree in commerce from Lakehead University and a degree in education from the University of Ottawa.

Adam has been an infantry officer, airplane, glider and helicopter pilot, peacekeeper, forest firefighter, lobbyist, association manager, writer, therapist and web developer. He is a graduate of the University of Manitoba in psychology and geography. Adam is a researcher and editor for Wikipedia and a writer for Full Circle magazine.

We both volunteer at the Nepean Sailing Club, too, doing such diverse tasks as dock rebuilding, public events tour guiding and safety boat crew for swimming events.

We have a 22 foot sailboat, named Vesper, which we sail in the summertime.

Operating systems used since 1998:
