I created Streethike with my partner in life and business; Heidi Thomasen. We love our city and look forward to sharing it with you. Born in the centre of the country at the ass end of the baby boom, part Ukrainian, Polish, Czech, Austrian, Jew (maybe), and a shot of Scottish. I am an Eastern European mongrel, common in Prairie Provinces of Canada (cross pollination is popular in this cold climate). I quit the Canadian Pacific Railway after ten years of service and moved to Vancouver in 1989 to become a Broadcast Journalist. Was booted from the program after one year, though. During those summers I worked as a camping Tour Guide in the Canadian Rockies and the National Parks of the Western United States. Terrified at the time, I was shocked to discover I loved people and took immense pride in sharing my beautiful country and also some of the most breathtaking parts of the USA. After surviving the trauma of not becoming a world famous News Anchor, I built a very exciting and fulfilling career in film. To this day I continue to make my living as a Locations Manager, finding and supervising locations for film, commercials and TV shows.

Compassion, commitment and hard work; her heart, leads the day.
Judging herself by standards no human could achieve. She is a fierce advocate for environmental, spiritual, and physical health. Heidi Thomasen has lived in pursuit of the ideal that people can make a difference. Planting trees, volunteering for charities, practicing or teaching Yoga. A brilliant photographer, student of design and textiles, an organizational dynamo and committed minimalist. Heidi was born in Vancouver of Danish and English ancestory (no, she doesn't speak Danish; maybe you could teach her some). Heidi loves travelling, almost as much as she loves kids. She is the driving force behind Streethike and its plan to reach all parts of the world.
