Hi there ... and welcome to Marc & Deanna's website ...

      We met on a warm and sunny afternoon, at the Stairway to Heaven.  We moved to Victoria in December 2007, and we live in a beautifully landscaped and quiet part of town called Broadmead, at the very to of Boulderwood Rise.  We are close to Elk Lake where we like to walk or jog, and to the Galloping Goose and the Lochside Trail where we go bike riding.

    We were married in the sand and sun of Bahia, Brazil (thank you, Véronique Sanson) in September 2009.

    A 1990 Certified General Accountant program Graduate, Marc is now the CFO for an insurance brokerage firm.  Hendry, Swinton, McKenzie, owned by Brad Hendry and Ross McKenzie, is located downtown Victoria.  Deanna is the accountant for Nova Beauty, a wholesale beauty salon product company with branches in Victoria, Nanaimo, Burnaby and Whitehorse.  And yes, we do talk about other things than balance sheets when we get home ;-) ...

    We enjoy hiking & bike riding together, playing softball or tennis (there is a court at the bottom of Boulderwood Rise), having dinner parties (we both like to cook) or hanging out with friends (Victoria's very friendly and active badminton community made us feel at home as soon as we moved here).  We also both love to travel to exotic places or to cozy country B&Bs, we like to water ski, share a good bottle of wine (do try to visit our favourite vineyards: Mistaken Identity and Eagle Eye for an experience you won't forget), to listen to music, read ... or even play "Wii" like a couple of (semi) grown-up kids J.  Marc also likes to go white water rafting (watch the YouTube video), play duplicate bridge, and take (and share) pictures.

    Deanna grew up in Ontario, and her family moved to BC in 1991.  Her parents parents live in Nanoose (they are part-time snow birds in Palm Springs) and her sister lives in Ontario.

    Marc immigrated to Canada in 1981, and his Dad and two brothers still live in Belgium.  His sister Geneviève lives in the south of France.  Marc also has two kids from a previous marriage.  Both Thia (born in '83) and Ryan ('86) live and work "up island" in Nanaimo.
