Mik Kersten I was born in Warsaw and moved to Ottawa when I was 9. After graduating from University in Vancouver I noticed that it would be tough to keep following the sun.  So I went south to San Francisco where I met my partner in crime Alicia Kersten.  We recently moved back to Vancouver and are loving the beautiful city and steep mountains.  Also note that I am definitely not into chain mail, so don't trust the Google image search.

I enjoy being outdoors and playing on snow, water, rock and pavement. My parents met on a chairlift, and skiing has been my favourite sport since I was three. Besides work there is little I enjoy more than being up in the mountains with my friends and family. Unfortunately my wife Alicia doesn't ski.  She snowboards.  But we made peace by getting married on the peak of Whistler mountain on May 1st, 2004 (pics to the left) before having a more more traditional ceremony 2 weeks later in Warsaw.  Our wedding somehow got written up in a Chinese Commerce Modernization magazine, and there's a pretty funny Babel Fish translation.
 
Before I started spending all my creative energy building tools I used to enjoy playing around with 3D worlds, some of which are to the right.
