5 Things You May Not Know About Me
My turn. Drew Meyers memed me.
So here are 5 things you may not know about me:
1. I lived in Ulsan, South Korea for three years where I founded the first English language monthly magazine in the city. Ulsan is also home to Hyundai Heavy Industries, the biggest shipyard the World.
2. I have a black belt in hapkido, a little-known Korean martial art that’s a combination of tae-kwon-do and judo.
3. My wife Amy and I were married in 2004. She has her black belt too. Disagreements in our house can get interesting.
4. For our honeymoon we backpacked through Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand. We were in Krabi exactly one week after the tsunami.
5. I enjoy pretty much anything outdoors; hiking, snowshoeing, snowboarding, scuba diving and riding my motorcycle.
Hope that gives you a little insight into who I am. I keep a personal blog at joel.burslem.ca, where you can find out a little more about me. I rarely update it though – FoREM keeps me pretty busy as it is.

Joel- Thanks for participating. I am actually trying to plan a trip to Thailand with some friends sometime next year. Do you have any tips as to where to go or what to see? Feel free to e-mail me if you do.

Love number 3! I gotta give you snowboarders a lot of credit. As a long time skier, I tried snowboarding for the first time last season. I think I sustained a mild concusion day 2 of trying it out. I may have to stick with sking…
Thanks for the background info and the great blog!

Joel – this is fantastic. All the more excited to get together at Inman. I was in Thailand/Vietnam at the same time on my honeymoon. Small, small world…

Hi,
I’m a reporter at iSPOT who saw your real estate marketing page. I write about video advertising and wonder if you would be willing to speak about how video advertising is being used by real estate marketers. Please call me or send your # and I’ll call you. I could have a story for the next issue, 10/10, so please contact me soon. Thanks,
