I’m a geek of everything tech and media. This means anything from playing with my Mac and iPhone to professional video editing and web development.
Why do you consider yourself a geek?
I’m a video editor with a geek core. Anything from technology to anime keeps me occupied. You can find my professional profile at http://www.evanthies.ca

What's the geekiest thing you've ever done?
When most people graduate from high school they want either a car or a tattoo or something big to celebrate their accomplishment. Not me, I wanted to buy myself a high-end camera and a nice computer to do video work. I saved my money, went to college taking a new media program, bought some nice gear and away I went.
I’m a geek, I knew what I wanted and I what I had a passion for and I pursued it. Most people don’t even know what they want to do after high school, let alone blow a ton of money on it. So I’d say that’s the geekiest thing I’ve ever done.
What do you do to entertain yourself?
Usually my entertainment is also my work, I do graphic design, build websites, create videos, etc. With friends I play airsoft, go to hockey games, go to bars, etc.
Hey, checked out your site, the demo reel 2008 is a good body of work. The black and white cowboy fight scene? Was that from an old film you re-edited or did you re-design a new soundtrack to it?
