- Here's where to send love letters, brilliant ideas, and other self-expressions

What is left to say about a guy whose life motto comes from the lips of Willy Wonka himself? "If you want to view paradise, simply look around and view it." There is no better phrase to explain this time in Deane's life right now. He considers his position at Thrive more of a gift and less of a job. Prior to moving to the Pacific Northwest (Aka: Paradise), you may have found Deane in a little corner of Southwestern Ontario molding young minds to reach their full potential, pedaling his way through farm country, or spending time with family. Other than his love of all things young, (i.e. children, children's books, coconuts) he also has a strong passion for all things green (i.e. plants, fresh cut grass, granny smith apples). He sees his future with Thrive in a very bright light and will soon be molding his love for the natural world into a master's degree in a few years time!
