When I meet Magnus at Craft Beer Market in Kelowna for a chat about life, work and style, he introduces me to the most refreshing thing 91裸聊视频� a Radler 91裸聊视频� which is beer and Sprite mixed together. He says it91裸聊视频檚 a typical German drink.

Originally from F眉ssen, Germany 91裸聊视频� a mountain town he jokingly describes as 91裸聊视频渏ust a bunch of goats and cows91裸聊视频� 91裸聊视频� Magnus came to Canada, and landed in Whistler as a professional snowboarder. He fell in love with the Canadian lifestyle and has lived here ever since.

91裸聊视频淲hen I first came to Canada, I saw what you have here, all the opportunity, and I wanted it. I thought to myself, 91裸聊视频楾his place is awesome and I91裸聊视频檓 staying.91裸聊视频� I set goals for myself and I went after them. I think generally in life you should keep your eyes open for opportunity and go for it. It91裸聊视频檚 not always going to be perfect. I can91裸聊视频檛 handle whiners. If you91裸聊视频檙e not happy with something then change it yourself. You91裸聊视频檙e the only person who can do that.91裸聊视频�

Magnus91裸聊视频� company, Castello Custom, undertakes all types of millwork: commercial, residential, furniture, etc. 91裸聊视频淚f it91裸聊视频檚 made of wood then we do it.91裸聊视频�

Asked what he loves most about his work, Magnus says it91裸聊视频檚 all about customer satisfaction.

91裸聊视频淚t91裸聊视频檚 important that I connect with clients to really feel what they want. I meet every client and bring them to the shop because I need to see their reactions when they see certain things and when they touch certain finishesin order to realize their vision.91裸聊视频�

Outside of work, Magnus loves dirt bikes. 91裸聊视频淚 love the sound of an engine! I ride the track twice a week to decompress, and my phone stays in truck. When you91裸聊视频檙e on the track, you have to be totally in the moment. If you mess up you will hurt yourself so you have to concentrate.91裸聊视频�

He also says his personal style its pretty important to him, describing it as 91裸聊视频淓uropean, old-school-snowboard style and a little bit of rock 91裸聊视频檔 roll in there. Every person has their own style and it91裸聊视频檚 cool when people embrace that. If you feel that this is what you want to look like, I won91裸聊视频檛 judge you. I think if you judge other people91裸聊视频檚 style then you obviously don91裸聊视频檛 have your own style.91裸聊视频�

Now aged 39 with two young sons, Magnus says he has a lot to love about living in Kelowna. 91裸聊视频淧eople here are happy, especially as soon as the sun shines. I think the most important thing for me is happiness. I want to see other people happy and that is what makes me happy and motivated. It91裸聊视频檚 a cool lifestyle here. It91裸聊视频檚 a good work and fun mix. Everybody works really hard and everybody plays really hard.91裸聊视频�
