    Description

    Hello, I am a single father with 2 children in shared custody (Lily 4 years old, Nolan 3 years old), I am a massage therapist and owner of a massage therapy clinic. I like learning about a lot of different subjects, sports, being outdoors and also drinking a good beer when it's time. I have a large house with renovations to finish; I raised the house to add a basement, the majority of the work is finished but there are still a few things to do (painting, finishing etc).

    Bonjour, je suis père seul avec 2 enfants en garde partagée(Lily 4ans, Nolan 3ans), je suis massothérapeute et propriétaire d'une clinique de massothérapie. J'aime apprendre sur plein de sujets variés, le sport, être à l'extérieur et aussi boire une bonne bière quand c'est le temps. J'ai une grande maison avec des rénovations à terminer; j'ai soulevé la maison pour ajouter un sous-sol, la majorité des travaux est terminé mais il reste quelques petits trucs à faire (peinture, finition etc).
